Streamline your analysis workflow and create detailed reports in seconds (not hours)
Automate the tedious, error-prone tasks in the review and analysis of requirements
Avoid costly rework later by identifying critical errors in the requirements stage
QVscribe harnesses Natural Language Processing to automatically apply the best requirements analysis tactics by leading industry experts. Automated requirements analysis empowers engineering teams to build faster by identifying errors where they matter most - in the requirements.
QVscribe is a pragmatic solution that can drive requirements quality improvement.

Your assistant for rapidly reviewing requirements in accordance with best practices. QVscribe’s analysis empowers teams with a foundation for confident & on-time project development.
QVscribe checks each requirement for missing or improper use of imperatives, helping you ensure every requirement has a single correct and actionable imperative.
Catch optional language that indicates a constraint “can” or “should” be implemented. Removing unintended optional language improves implementation scope, reducing risk and increasing control.
Detect slang and ambiguities using our library of vague words. Are there certain words you believe should never make it into a requirements document? Easily enforce clarity for you and your team by configuring the library to include problematic wording for detection.
QVscribe’s default quality analysis checks for 7 quality indicators: imperatives, negative imperatives, vague wording, optional language, continuances, directives, and universal quantifiers. Each analyzed requirement is given a quality score, identifying the requirements to focus on improving first.
Words or phrases that generalize a quantity or quality should be used carefully to improve the verifiability of a requirement. QVscribe flags universal quantifiers without impacting the quality score as a warning that the requirement may be unverifiable or untestable unless restated.
Using both imperial and metric systems of units within one document has resulted in some of the most catastrophic project failures ever seen. QVscribe rapidly detects and displays units and terminology to help you verify consistency throughout all requirements. Ensuring that no terminology or units conflicts lead to delays or rework.
According to NASA, the cost to fix errors rises exponentially with each successive phase of the project life-cycle, resulting in up to a 1,000 cost premium for addressing requirement errors at the operations stage. JM Stecklein, Error Cost Escalation Through the Project Life Cycle, NASA, 2004
Fast, Efficient
Eliminate Redundant and Contradictory Requirements.
Ensuring no two requirements are redundant or contradictory used to entail significant manual effort and cross-checking. Now, QVscribe automatically analyzes each requirement against all others to assess similarity — helping you spot requirements that either need to be updated or deleted.
Enterprise teams require the very best tools available, and with every new release, QVscribe delivers new capabilities that enhance collaboration and management throughout the requirements engineering process.
The Project Management Institute’s 2014 Pulse of the Profession found that only 47% of organizations have a formal process to validate requirements, and that 51% of At a Glance Requirement Analysis project dollars are wasted due to poor requirements.
