Through professional requirements management, development errors are better understood, identified earlier, and costs are minimized. Through their work, our requirements managers create a shared understanding of the problems.
This understanding is crucial for better estimating development effort and ensuring project completion on time and on budget. A precise requirements definition reduces the risk of developing the wrong product and lays the foundation for successful testing, thus ensuring the verifiability of customer-oriented product development. Test cases can be generated directly from the requirements (V&V) and help uncover errors (link/reference to the "Testing" service range).
To achieve the goal of successful development, we formulate, analyse, and structure the technical requirements according to the IREB standard in close collaboration with our customers. Through error-free and clearly formulated requirements, as well as active communication with stakeholders, we create a working basis that eliminates different interpretations or even contradictions. In addition to this consistency of requirements, traceability across (development) levels must also be ensured. Therefore, our requirements engineers promote collaboration, for example, between the requirements level and the architectural design (see the "System Architecture" service spectrum).
During development, a wide variety of laws, international specifications, and standards must be adhered to. These are often subject to significant temporal dynamics, which complicates evaluation. We support our clients in the design and operational compliance of processes (e.g., VDA: Automotive/Hardware/Mechanical SPICE) or in the consideration of functional safety (ISO 26262) and help ensure that the requirements levels are met in an assessment.
Our systems engineering approach forms the backbone of every successful system development.
