Abstract

This case study analyses the applicability of a Quality Improvement Process that will enhance the quality of the requirements using an existing requirement specification to seed the Knowledge Base with the organization know–how. This Knowledge Base drives the quality assessment and directs the requirement authors to the areas that can be improved. The updated specification feeds back into the Knowledge Base thereby institutionalizing continuous process improvement into Alstom. The case study has been developed by means of a Proof of Concepts using the RQS suit tools to gather the knowledge (KM), analyse the quality (RQA) and authoring requirements (RAT).
