Abstract :
We demonstrate the scenario management and requirements tool (SMaRT). It provides an intuitive Web-based interface that supports analysts as they input, manage, view, analyze, and work with scenarios and their associated episodes, requirements, goals, obstacles, and pre- and post-conditions. The tool also supports project management functions. It encompasses greater functionality through the implementation of: similarity measures to aid in the automatic identification of probable duplication, syntactic indicators of scenario dependencies, notifiers of probable coverage gaps, procedural guidance for analysts, as well as revision and evolution tracking mechanisms. We exhibit the various features of SMaRT to the requirements engineering community through live access to actual SMaRT-generated data as well as by providing hands-on access to the tool.
