Uma análise de ferramentas de suporte ao gerenciamento de requisitos de software

Abstract

Interest in the area of information technology has grown in recent years and, as a result, there has been an increase in the demand for quality software development, so that it meets established requirements and functions for a specific purpose. It is known that an effective way to achieve the expected quality in software development is through requirements management, which is a model for finding, documenting, organizing and tracking the requirements of a system, thereby improving the quality of the process. In order to support requirements management, software management tools are an important artifact for achieving the desired software quality. Therefore, this work aims to analyze and study software requirements management tools based on predefined criteria, using their free versions for evaluation. In addition, it seeks to understand their importance and the impact of their functionalities on requirements engineering. Through the analysis performed, it was possible to evaluate the performance of software requirements management tools based on predefined criteria, identifying their main advantages and disadvantages. Through the analysis carried out, it was possible to evaluate the performance of the software requirements management tools based on predefined criteria, identifying the main advantages and disadvantages of each one. At the end, a qualitative comparison was made between them. The conclusion indicates that the tools in their free versions may be suitable, depending on the type, size and objective of the project.
