SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF REQUIREMENTS CHAINING AND APPLICATIONS THEREOF

摘要

A method(100) and system(1100), the method(1100) including receiving a set of requirements for a software application, the set of requirements comprising a plurality of software requirements identified for the software application(1105); analyzing the set of requirements to determine dependencies between the plurality of software requirements in the set of requirements(1110); generating a visualization of the determined dependencies and test boundaries between the plurality of software requirements in the set of requirements(1115); storing the generated visualization of the determined dependencies and test boundaries between the plurality of software requirements in the set of requirements in a record(1120); and applying the determined dependencies in the record to at least one of (i) optimize test steps in a test procedure and (ii) generate an executable test procedure that exercises external inputs and outputs for the software application.
