T-Reqs: Tool Support for Managing Requirements in Large-Scale Agile System Development
This addresses requirements engineering challenges for teams in large-scale agile development, but it is incremental as it builds on existing git tools.
The authors tackled the problem of managing requirements in large-scale agile system development by introducing T-Reqs, a text-based tool built on git, which helps teams stay aware of and propose updates to system-level requirements, though no concrete performance numbers are provided.
T-Reqs is a text-based requirements management solution based on the git version control system. It combines useful conventions, templates and helper scripts with powerful existing solutions from the git ecosystem and provides a working solution to address some known requirements engineering challenges in large-scale agile system development. Specifically, it allows agile cross-functional teams to be aware of requirements at system level and enables them to efficiently propose updates to those requirements. Based on our experience with T-Reqs, we i) relate known requirements challenges of large-scale agile system development to tool support; ii) list key requirements for tooling in such a context; and iii) propose concrete solutions for challenges.
