SE Suite（Systems Engineering Suite）
Improve Requirement Specification Quality with the SE Suite’s Tools
SOLIZE, in partnership with The REUSE Company (Spain), provides SE Suite, a quality improvement tool for requirements.
SE Suite is a set of software tools for improving the quality of requirements specifications. It is an aid for specifying requirement specifications based on the CCC approach* and semantic technology. You can define, measure, and manage the terminology and knowledge of your system.
- *The CCC approach is a methodology of managing quality of requirement specifications based on Correctness, Consistency, and Completeness.
Characteristics1
The CCC approach and semantic technology allow for quantitative measurement of requirement specification quality, and aid interaction with requirement descriptions.
Characteristics2
Use of metrics that can be customized by users based on the organization's quality standards.
Characteristics3
Appropriate quality level can be set per organization and per project.
Components
SE Suite is composed of the following four tools.
-
VERIFICATION Studio
VERIFICATION Studio is a tool to check the quality of your requirement specifications based on their Correctness, Completeness, and Consistency. VERIFICATION Studio can define metrics according to your organization's quality policies.
-
AUTHORING Tools
AUTHORING Tools is a tool to assist you in writing requirement specifications by giving you appropriate terminology and patterns from the knowledge database. Writers can maintain the correctness and consistency of your requirements by selecting suggested terms and patterns.
-
KNOWLEDGE Manager
KNOWLEDGE Manager is a repository tool to control and manage all knowledge necessary for your requirement descriptions. This knowledge can be reused in VERIFICATION Studio and AUTHORING Tools.
-
TRACEABILITY Studio
TRACEABILITY Studio is a tool to manage traceability among different Systems Engineering work products.
Approaching Improvements To Systems Engineering Quality Using SE Suite
The interactive activities of assessing quality, modifying requirement specifications based on quality results, and managing knowledge all help your company’s knowledge assets evolve, and continuously improve the quality of your requirement specifications.
The CCC Approach, Enabled By Semantic Technology
The CCC approach is a methodology to control and manage the quality of requirement specifications based on Correctness, Consistency, and Completeness.
- Controlling the quality of each requirement specification by Correctness:
- ・Does the structure of the requirement comply with an organizational agreement?
- ・Does the requirement specification meet user requirements?
- ・Is there information necessary for design and implementation?
- Control the quality of requirement specifications by Consistency and Completeness:
- ・Are there any inconsistent requirements?
- ・Are there any duplicated requirements?
- ・Do all necessary requirement specifications exist?
The CCC approach is realized through natural language processing and semantic technology based on hierarchical ontology.
In particular, more complicated consistency and completeness are managed through pattern matching of sentences via pattern layer and semantic analysis using the formalization layer.
