THe benefits of using kapture

Software requirements present issues

Levelling - are they abstract enough from the design?
Ambiguity - do they mean the same to every stakeholder?
Well-formedness - do they cover all aspects of the requirement?
Are reviews subjective?

This leads to mis-understanding, error and cost. Kapture aims to solve these problems by assisting a developer to write clear, concise, unambiguous requirements. This is achieved by enabling precise definitions, providing a data dictionary and combining with text formats that enable well-formed requirements to be written.

This avoids much of the subjectivity related to review and hence reduces cost impact felt later in the software life cycle.

Kapture in PRactiCe

Engineers charged with writing software requirements for embedded systems are likely to benefit from the use of Kapture.

The right requirements assist developers to develop correct designs, coders to develop correct code, test engineers to develop valid test cases and hence achieve working software with fewer iterations.

This cuts costs and hence also helps project managers as well as enabling regulators understand what the software is supposed to do.
