Support of ReqIF #1105

Open b-sh opened 10 years ago

b-sh commented 10 years ago

Hi,

do you have any plans to support Requirements Interchange Format (ReqIF - http://www.omg.org/spec/ReqIF/) on mbeddr side? Without knowing the internal structure how much effort would it be to abstract current requirements engine of mbeddr to handle different formats?

Hi,

We are aware of the ReqIF standard. There have been initial thoughts about supporting it, but so far the was not enough interest (aka contributions and/or money ;-)) to implement it.

In general, mbeddr's requirements are extensible so support for additional attributes defined by an ReqIF metamodel could be supported. The effort highly depends on the way of integration

I think one feasible approach would be to import / export mbeddr requirements in a reqIF format, most probably by using the RMF framework from Eclipse. Here one would manually write specific extensions to mbeddr's requirements language. The importer / exporter would map those to a given reqIF schema.
