Requirements Tools for Eclipse [message #37029] Fri, 18 March 2005 02:13 Go to next message

Are there any projects as part of Eclipse or some other third party plugin
that provides similar requirements management like a DOORs type of tool that
is integrated within Eclipse?

I will add a follow-on question to this...

While looking around some I found the UML2 meta model portion of Eclipse.
Would it be appropriate to work with requirements and use the UML2 meta
model to store the requirements, use-cases, etc, and then have diagrams be
generated based on these?

Recently I also noticed the new GMF (Graphical Modeling Framework) project
and was wondering if the GMF would be the useful to make use of for a
requirements based tool.

Eric,

Yes, this certainly sounds reasonable to me...

Does any such requirement related tool or project exist already? If so, can
you provide any details on it? I would hate to try replicating the effort.
Would this be something that a new project on the Eclipse.org site would be
worth wild incubating?

I have come across some requirements related items at:

http://requirements.tigris.org/
http://xmlbasedsrs.tigris.org/

One of which seems promising as a plugin:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/eclipsesrs/

Anyone...?

Eric,

I am not aware of any efforts in this area, but that doesn't mean there
aren't any. Perhaps somebody else can shed some light on this...

The SysML initiative includes a UML2 Profile that covers Requirements. This
is in the process of being standardized by OMG. The current proposal is at
http://www.sysml.org/artifacts.htm (see section 16 for the Requirements
part). The good thing about being a UML2 Profile is that the requirements
can be directly linked to the models (use cases or whatever) to which they
apply. Here is the introduction to the Requirements section:

A requirement can be decomposed into subrequirements, so that multiple
requirements can be organized as a tree of compound requirements.
Requirements can be related to each other, as well as to analysis, design,
implementation and testing elements. A requirement can be generated or
deduced from another requirement using the

Is it right that you are with IBM Rational? I saw a news article some time
ago that Rational Rose is to be based on Eclipse technology. While this
maybe doesn't relate to the original question - I am familiar with the
'original' version of Rational Rose - how is that to happen?

This raises many questions, since Rose is a (rather costly) commercial
tool, and Eclipse is Open Source. Also, Eclipse would then have to include
all the UML2-based, graphical tools, as well as its current features. And
where does this leave 'freeware' users of Eclipse? Will they have access
to these tools?

Arnd,

Yes, I am with Rational Software, a division of IBM.

Rational Rose will not be based on Eclipse technology, but its successors,
Rational Software Modeler and Rational Software Architect (released late in
2004), are. These products provide a migration path for Rose models via an
import mechanism. Note that just because IBM has based some of its products
on open source technologies such as Eclipse, GEF, EMF, and UML2 does mean
that all of its UML2-based graphical modeling tools will be "included" with
Eclipse as open source... although as part of the GMF project, one might
expect to see more a extensive foundation for such tools to become a
commodity.

Hi,

I have a keen interest in using the Eclipse Platform to capture requirements
and link them to Use Case narratives and diagrams as well as the code that
realizes the Use Cases and satisfies the requirements. I've tried to
capture some of my observations in one of the above mentioned plugins,
http://eclipsesrs.sourceforge.net/ , a project that has been dormant for 6
months or so due to my current workload. While rudimentary, this might be a
useful testbed for concepts and could certainly benefit from input and
programming from developers with more eclipse experience than I. The RFE
section of the sourceforge project (
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=111639&atid=659 988 ) is where I
have been capturing my thoughts.

Regards,

Charlie Fulnecky
