Import your documents, then elaborate on requirements, risks and tests. Customize the attributes of requirements according to your workflow. Link related requirements to verification & Validation, safety risks, and other factors. Create traceability reports in MS Word, Excel PDF or HTML formats, and share them with reviewers. Estimate the impact of changes in order to avoid unexpected costs. Prove that safety risks have been mitigated and that all requirements are met. Improve the overall quality of your product.

QRA’s tools streamline engineering artifact generation, evaluation, and prediction, refocusing engineers from tedious work to critical path development. Our solutions automate the creation of risk-free project artifacts for high-stakes engineering. Engineers often spend excessive time on the mundane task of refining requirements, with quality metrics varying across industries. QVscribe, QRA's flagship product, streamlines this by automatically consolidating these metrics and applying them to your documentation, identifying risks, errors, and ambiguities. This efficiency allows engineers to focus on more complex challenges. To further simplify requirement authoring, QRA introduced a pioneering five-point scoring system that instills confidence in engineers. A perfect score confirms accurate structure and phrasing, while lower scores prompt corrective guidance. This feature not only refines current requirements but also reduces common errors and enhances authoring skills over time.

A Digital Thread is essentially a graph consisting of nodes that represent various elements found in enterprise repositories, tools, and systems for version control, with edges denoting both intra-model relationships within each tool and inter-model connections that Syndeia facilitates between these nodes. Additionally, Syndeia offers model transformation capabilities that help construct the digital thread graph, allowing for operations such as seamlessly dragging and dropping requirements from Jama or DOORS-NG into SysML, generating Simulink models and PLM part structures derived from SysML models, linking behavior elements in SysML to corresponding software code in GitHub, and even monitoring the development progress of a sub-system in JIRA directly from SysML. Furthermore, Syndeia enhances the functionality of the digital thread by providing services for searching, comparing, and bi-directionally synchronizing interconnected models, enabling users to compare and synchronize alterations in system architecture with the PLM part structure or align changes made in DOORS-NG requirements with SysML, illustrating the comprehensive capabilities of digital thread management. Ultimately, this interconnected approach not only streamlines workflows but also ensures that all components of a project remain aligned and up-to-date across multiple platforms.

Legacy systems can be methodically phased out without causing disruptions to ongoing business operations. Furthermore, the platform delivers on-demand visibility into business processes through its advanced analytics and business intelligence (A/BI) features. The application integration infrastructure powered by eQube®-MI is designed for easy expansion, ensuring secure, scalable, and effective information sharing among networks, partners, suppliers, and customers regardless of their geographical locations. Additionally, this infrastructure supports a diverse range of collaborative efforts, fostering innovation and efficiency across the enterprise.

ReqXChanger facilitates two-way traceability that adheres to the ReqIF standard, connecting requirements management systems with UML/SysML modeling platforms. This tool allows users to export requirements in ReqIF format from their RM system, transforming them into UML-compatible components within their modeling software, and also supports the reverse process, enabling the import of model information back into the requirements environment for better visualization of implementation coverage and effective impact analysis. Additionally, it monitors changes to linked requirements and highlights related model elements as “Suspect Links” for further examination, which aids in preventing potential miscommunications or design inconsistencies. By ensuring transparency throughout the process, it provides comprehensive visibility of coverage, encourages data synchronization between RM and modeling tools, and enhances the regulated migration or reuse of engineering assets, thereby simplifying compliance procedures. Moreover, ReqXChanger enhances efficiency by offering automation capabilities through CLI scripting, which streamlines routine tasks such as export, import, and synchronization processes while maximizing productivity. The comprehensive features provided by ReqXChanger ultimately contribute to a more cohesive and organized approach to managing both requirements and models.
