Delivery of reliable software has become a primary concern for the successful software development organizations. Successful and reliable software can be delivering only when the requirement documentation is reliable. There is various threats point in the requirement phase that causes for requirement defects and so defect occurring in the further phases of Software Development process. A key aspect of delivering and improving the software reliability it is necessary to be confident that the requirement delivered to the further phases must be reliable. Reliability measurement is the best characteristic of assessing gathered requirement statistics and their respective compiled documentation. A reliable requir ement can be produce only after removing or resolving all types of requirement defects. Here we describe an automated requirement defect identification approach through introducing Defect Data Dictionary which is directly accessible by Requirement Inspection Participant (RIP) and Requirement Inspection Method (RIM) for comparative requirement inspection. This paper provides an overview of the automated approach of how the requirement defect are being detected and resolved to achieve Reliable Requirement Specification (RRS) [8]. Here, the assessment of reliability with respect to requirement defect before and after mitigation through Requirement Defect Detection Framework is given. This may help out requirement analyst for producing the Reliable Requirement Specification.
