A New Procedure For Customizing A Requirements Engineering Environment To Generate Requirements Reports Automatically

In this work we present a new procedure for customizing, in the desired format, requirements reports generated by a Requirements Engineering Environment.

This environment includes tools for: 1- capturing textual and pictoric requirements; 2- templating requirements documents that can be adjustable to the formats required by the certification authorities or system engineering groups; 3- translating features from/to the main word processors used in the industry (Word, Excel, etc. formats); 4- managing requirements configuration. It provides gains of productivity, correctness, reusability, traceability, coverage, etc, improving the efficiency of the projects.

The procedure emphasizes items 2 and 3, and is illustrated with some examples driven from the aerospace industry.
