What’s New in the QRA Platform
Every release from April 2025 to November 2026. The analysis got sharper, the fixes now come drafted, and the record of what was checked accumulates while the work happens.
Overview
Nineteen months at a glance
We build the QRA Platform to help engineering teams write requirements that hold up. Since April 2025, QVscribe finds the problems, ReqWriter drafts the fixes, and the platform keeps the record of requirement quality over time. This page lists everything that shipped along the way.

Authoring assistance
ReqWriter drafts the fix. QVscribe judges it.
QRA PlatformJun 2026
Rewrites at any score
Request a rewrite for any requirement, not only low-scoring ones. A suggestion is shown only if it scores at least as well as the original.
Read the release →QRA PlatformJun 2026
Live Quality Tuning
The thresholds that decide when and where ReqWriter offers help are delivered from the QRA Platform. Improvements take effect the next time QVscribe loads, with no reinstall.
Read the release →QRA PlatformApr 2026 · threshold raised Jun 2026
Automatic suggestions
Suggestions appear as soon as a requirement is opened in the authoring view, for any requirement scoring below 5. No manual trigger is needed.
Read the release →QRA PlatformFeb 2026 · persistent Jun 2026
EARS rewrite style
Choose between a standard rewrite and an EARS-compliant rewrite in one click. The selected style is remembered across requirements and sessions.
Read the release →QRA PlatformJan – Jun 2026
Inside the tools you already use
ReqWriter runs directly in Word, Excel, Polarion, Jama Connect and DOORS Next, so authors never need to copy text into a separate portal.
Read the release →QRA PlatformDec 2025 · refined Apr 2026
Reviewable, auditable changes
Each suggestion highlights exactly what changed and includes QVscribe’s rationale. Authors accept, edit or decline it, and can request another attempt.
Read the release →QRA PlatformDec 2025
Smart Splitting
When a requirement contains more than one imperative, ReqWriter can suggest splitting it into singular statements. Copy each one individually or all at once.

Requirements analysis
Sharper EARS checks and a faster engine
QVscribeNov 2026
Scores to one decimal place
4.2, not 4. Scores register progress with each improvement, so small gains show before a requirement crosses a whole number.
HighlightQVscribeNov 2026
New language engine
QVscribe’s analysis core has been rebuilt. On a 5,400-requirement benchmark, passive-voice flags dropped from 15.8% to 6.5%, and correctly written requirements are no longer flagged as incomplete.
HighlightQVscribeNov 2026
Faster similarity checks
Similarity checks on a 2,080-requirement document dropped from 7.6 seconds to under a tenth of a second.
QVscribeJul 2026
Faster, more accurate engine
Quality analysis is approximately 11% faster. Phrases inside recognized glossary terms no longer count toward Multiple Imperatives or Excessive Continuances.
Highlight Read the release →QVscribeJan 2026
Elevated EARS analysis
QVscribe identifies incorrectly written EARS patterns with greater accuracy: duplicate keywords, out-of-order clauses, “if” and “when” conflicts, and non-compliant or negative imperatives. Detected elements appear in the order they occur.
Highlight Read the release →QVscribeJul 2026
Stronger EARS conformance
Vague subjects such as “the system” are flagged, glossary acronyms are no longer mistaken for EARS keywords, and inserted templates use “shall”.
Read the release →QVscribeJul 2026
Reliable results on pasted text
Analysis handles non-breaking spaces, line breaks, tabs and mixed capitalization common in text copied from web pages and other documents.
Read the release →QVscribeJul 2026
More complete quality reports
The quality summary and exported reports list every enabled problem and warning type, sorted by frequency so the most common issues appear first.
Read the release →QVscribeJan 2026
Actionable EARS coaching
The coaching view highlights the precise issue in each requirement and gives targeted correction guidance. A dropdown makes it simple to choose and insert EARS templates.
Read the release →QVscribe2025
Multi-paragraph exclusions
Supporting content such as rationale or notes can span several paragraphs after a single Exclusion Prefix and still be excluded from analysis.
QVscribe2025
Fewer false positives on “can” and “may”
The Optional Escape Clauses check ignores “can” and “may” when they are used as nouns or pronouns rather than as verbs.

Quality over time
Your requirements have a history. The platform keeps it.
QRA PlatformNov 2026
Requirement history
Every version of a requirement in a connected project is scored and kept, with its findings and a side-by-side comparison of any two versions. Compare a document to a chosen date, such as your last review, and sort by edit count to find the requirements that keep changing.
Highlight Read the release →QRA PlatformNov 2026
Project dashboards
Average score, trend and score spread for every connected project, with recently changed documents first and the ones that changed since you last looked flagged. Rolling out, starting with Polarion.
Read the release →QRA PlatformApr 2026
Requirement Moments
Snapshots preserve the exact state of each individual requirement, in document order, so teams can trace how a requirement evolved and reference it in reviews and audits.
Highlight Read the release →QRA PlatformSep 2026
Clearer Snapshot messages
If a Snapshot cannot be created, for example because two requirements share an ID, QVscribe names the affected IDs and explains what to do next.
QRA PlatformApr 2026
Lifecycle gate benchmarking
Capture requirements at milestones such as SRR, PDR and CDR to measure quality at each gate and catch regressions between them.
Read the release →QVscribeJul 2025
Simpler configuration versioning
Save, Save a Copy and Delete are clearly labelled, and the configuration list shows only the latest version of each configuration.
Read the release →QVscribeJul 2025
Access Groups
Tenant administrators can limit which users or groups see each configuration, including through Active Directory groups, to keep authors focused and protect sensitive technical data.
Read the release →QRA Platform2025 – Sep 2026
Direct access to the platform portal
Open the platform portal from the QVscribe ribbon or browser extension to review Snapshots, Timelines and ReqWriter.

Everyday experience
Usability, integrations and platform
QRA PlatformNov 2026
Faster documents
Large documents open about 4× faster, and scores return sooner after a save.
QRA PlatformNov 2026
Reliable sync
Failed saves and incomplete uploads are held rather than passed through, and turning sync off fully stops writes. Polarion sessions recover cleanly.
QRA PlatformNov 2026
What’s New in the product
Release updates appear directly in the browser extension and Office add-in.
QVscribeNov 2026
Cloud-only browser extension
Automatic updates and a smoother first sign-in, plus fixes for Jama Connect real-time scoring and typing in DOORS Next.
QRA PlatformNov 2026

Broader sign-in support
QVscribe works with a wider range of OAuth2 and OIDC identity providers. More reliable session renewal reduces unexpected sign-outs.
QVscribeOct 2026
Clear error reporting and accessibility
If analysis cannot complete, the review panel states the reason. The Snapshot Timeline link is keyboard-reachable with improved contrast.
QVscribeSep – Oct 2026
Glossary safeguards
Glossary terms that differ only in spacing can no longer be created, and large glossary imports complete quickly with terms visible immediately.
QVscribeSep 2026
More accurate highlighting in Office
Highlighting in Word and Excel clears correctly when requirement text is edited, and aligns correctly in bulleted and numbered lists.
QVscribeApr 2026
Interactive filter badges
