A Tool That Benefits Your Whole Team

QVscribe establishes measurable standards for authoring and reviewing requirements, automatically checking for quality and compliance. Free your most valuable team members to focus on intent, not syntax.

Establish a Clear, Repeatable Requirements Process

QVscribe helps multi-disciplinary teams codify institutional knowledge into their requirements processes. 

The software can detect duplicate requirements, verify correctness, index the domain-specific terminology, and validate accurate measurement units are used consistently.

Configurable settings paired with INCOSE standards ensure that each team member with a QVscribe license is authoring with the same high-quality process.

Risk Mitigation

In each project, there may be thousands of requirements and a multi-million-dollar budget – a simple error in specs can result in millions and months lost.

Risk reduction is only effective if it is thoroughly implemented across an entire team.  Ensure each engineer has the tools and knowledge to catch errors early.

Automation Frees Time for Innovation

Complex projects have a high risk of failure due to requirement ambiguity, misinterpretation, and assumptions. We created a tool that ensures your engineering team knows exactly what they’re expected to deliver. QVscribe automates the bulk of editing and compliance review allowing your team to focus their efforts on adhering to the project’s intent and stakeholder needs.

How does QVscribe work?

Requirements are imperative statements that assert that something must be done, or that a project outcome holds a specific attribute. Imperative phrases such as “shall” or “must” are an essential ingredient to make it clear that a requirement is, well, required! QVscribe checks each requirement for the existence of an acceptable imperative, ensuring it is actionable.

We all strive to have effective requirements that are efficiently written for robust and powerful products. A quality requirement avoids using descriptive phrases that cannot be measured. QVscribe finds problematic phrases like these and provides guidance to help you and your team avoid misinterpretation, testing troubles, and rework.

Quality Analysis

QVscribe’s Quality Analysis is your expert requirements assistant. The analysis checks for compliance with standards such as the INCOSE Guide for Writing Requirements and ensures every detail is accounted for, including proper use of imperatives, clear language, and other industry best practices.

Natural Language Processing is used for the automatic detection of incomplete sentences and uses of passive voice. Using an active voice in your requirements makes it clear who, or what part of the system, is responsible for meeting requirements. Advances in our incomplete sentence logic make it easy to identify problematic requirements that are missing either a subject or a required action.

QVscribe gives you a comprehensive view of your document without leaving your requirements management tool. The dashboard view allows you to understand the progress and see any underlying warnings throughout the document.

Unit & Term Consistency

Automatic detection, enumeration, and classification of all measurement units and noun phrases help users verify their correct use and location in the requirements. Avoid costly errors by ensuring consistency across your document, regardless of how many authors have worked on it.

Since QVscribe lists your terms, you can find inconsistencies and opportunities to consolidate the information. For example, if you reference a “patient”, a “physician”, and a “user” in the same document, a reader may be left wondering whether the user of a specific feature is intended to be the patient or the physician. An automatically generated list makes it easy to see how different terms are used throughout the requirement set and improves overall consistency.

null

Similarity

QVscribe automatically identifies requirements that are similar. This feature makes it easy to spot missing information, duplicate requirements, and contradictions by showing you the probable suspects and highlighting the differences.

The user controls the matching threshold so they can right-size the results based on the total number of requirements and how deep they choose to go.

null

Customizable Configurations

QVscribe’s configurations adjust to suit your needs. By enabling or disabling different Problem Types and adding or removing specific terms from the default lists, your leaders can standardize the language used across your organization.

Configurations are automatically updated across all users, even when accessing QVscribe through different Requirement Management Tools.

null

Colour-Coded Error Detection

QVscribe gives a simple way to identify priorities and processes to correct requirement issues. It is an efficient and user-friendly way to author requirements on the go or to get an overview of an entire document’s quality.
