The First Requirements Elucidator Demonstration (FRED) tool
Joseph Eli Kasser · Systems Engineering · 2004
Abstract The problem of poorly written requirements has been documented for at least the last ten years without much improvement. This paper describes applying technology in the form of a simple software tool containing an Expert System that can minimize the production of poorly worded requirements in the future and help ensure the completeness of the testing of poorly worded requirements. This paper also describes how the tool evolved and discusses how the tool can be used to prevent cost and schedule escalations due to some types of poorly worded requirements. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
