Abstract

Requirements inconsistencies, caught early in a software lifecycle, prevents unnecessary work later in that lifecycle. Testing requirements for consistency early and automatically is a key to catching errors. This paper will share an experience with a mature software project that involved translating software requirements with overlapping definitions into a conceptual graph and recommends the use of several new actors to help automatically test a requirements consistency graph.
