Overview

ISO/IEC TR 24766:2009 - "Information technology - Systems and software engineering - Guide for requirements engineering tool capabilities" is a Technical Report that describes desirable capabilities of requirements engineering (RE) tools. It supplements ISO/IEC 14102:2008 by focusing on tool support specific to RE activities defined in ISO/IEC 15288:2008 and ISO/IEC 12207:2008. The report helps organizations, tool purchasers, RE practitioners and vendors understand which tool features support the RE life‑cycle: elicitation, analysis, specification, verification & validation, and management.

Key topics

Requirements elicitation and capture
- Support for storing interview/workshop artifacts, stakeholder information and rationale
- Flexible attributes, import/export of text and graphics, and search capabilities
Requirements analysis
- Decomposition, conflict detection, feasibility assessment and prioritization support
Requirements specification
- Consistent, reviewable documentation generation and traceable specification artifacts
Verification and validation
- Capabilities to support examination, objective evidence collection and validation workflows
Requirements management
- Versioning, change and configuration management, history tracking, author identification, time‑stamping and security rights control
Traceability
- Forward/backward and bi‑directional tracing between requirements, system elements, documents, graphics and rationale
Quality characteristics
- Guidance on requirements quality attributes and how tool features can help assess and improve requirement quality

Practical applications

ISO/IEC TR 24766:2009 is practical for:

Organizations selecting or evaluating RE tools and CASE tools to support system and software projects
Systems and software engineers defining tool requirements to comply with lifecycle standards (ISO/IEC 15288, ISO/IEC 12207)
Project managers and requirements analysts who need to improve traceability, change control and requirements quality
Tool vendors designing RE capabilities that align with international RE process expectations

Typical uses:

Creating an objective checklist for tool procurement and vendor comparison
Mapping RE process activities to tool features for process improvement
Defining traceability and change‑management workflows to reduce defects and rework
