stpsoft ReqSheet (formerly codenamed Quew) is a
lightweight and quick-start requirements productivity
tool with a minimal learning curve. The tool is ideally
suited to product managers, business analysts, developers and consultants
who prefer the convenience and simplicity of working
with documents rather than a database. ReqSheet does not
require a network or internet connection, and ReqSheet
documents can be emailed as attachments or shared using
configuration management software such as Microsoft
Visual SourceSafe®. Combining ReqSheet with
stpsoft Storyboarding
enables analysts to collaborate with business users to
visually transform stakeholder requirements into
detailed functional requirements.
A separate edition that integrates with
Microsoft Visual Studio® Team System
is also available.
The Alpha pre-release version
of ReqSheet is available for
download and unrestricted use (free license).

Intuitive and User Friendly
ReqSheet is exceptionally user friendly and does not
require any formal training. The tool provides a simple
user interface with familiar short-cut keys for standard
productivity functions such as copy, cut, paste, undo,
redo, find, replace and save.
Document Based
Requirements are
stored in ReqSheet documents, which can be emailed as
attachments or shared using configuration management
software such as Microsoft Visual SourceSafe. The tool
does not use a database, and a network or internet
connection is not required, making the tool ideal for
engaging with customers off-site.
Requirements Reuse
Capture, organise and manage
requirements in a hierarchical list using drag and drop.
Requirements can be reused by simply copying a
requirement and pasting as a cross-reference. Any
changes to the original requirement are reflected in the
cross-reference. Cross-references provide a good
starting point for identifying object and code reuse
during the design stage.
Methodology Flexibility
Document templates offer the flexibility to work with different requirements methodologies, such as the Use Case approach.
Alternatively, requirements can simply be captured as a
hierarchical 'shopping' or 'to-do' list with advanced
change management functionality.
Review Status Tracking
Requirements are colour coded
depending on their review status, making it easy to scan
the document for new and modified requirements. Changing
an 'Approved' requirement automatically changes the
review status and colour to highlight that the
requirement has been modified.
Review Comments
Conduct peer reviews and annotate
requirements with review comments. Customers and other
stakeholders can review and comment on requirements. 'Next' and 'Previous'
buttons facilitate navigating between requirements with
review comments, and document owners can mark review
comments as accepted.
Track Changes
Control when changes are tracked and highlighted using the 'Track Changes' toggle. Changed requirements are highlighted in the requirements list, and 'Next' and 'Previous'
buttons facilitate navigating between changed
requirements. Compare changes using the quick 'before
and after' view, or perform a more detailed analysis
highlighting exactly which words have changed in
context. Document owners can accept or roll back requirements changes.
Exports, Data Synchronisation and Document Generation
Documents (such as Marketing Briefs,
Product Briefs, Feature Plans, Vision Documents and
Requirements Specifications) can be generated in Microsoft Word
and HTML format. Data can be exported to Microsoft Excel,
Microsoft Project and XML. Data within Microsoft
Excel spreadsheets and Microsoft Project plans can be
synchronised with ReqSheet documents.
Integration with stpsoft Storyboarding
ReqSheet documents can be imported to
stpsoft Storyboarding (Standard Edition)
to visualise concepts and to validate requirements. The
Storyboarding import
wizard lets the user specify which data to
import based on the data verification method.
Functionality and concepts in the GUI and workflow storyboard can be linked to
ReqSheet data (such as features, goals and requirements), and a traceability matrix can be generated
to check for completeness, assess the impact of change and
minimise scope creep.
COM API and Custom Add-Ins
The ReqSheet COM API enables the creation of custom COM add-ins that
can be executed from within ReqSheet and other COM clients (such as
custom macros in Microsoft Excel).
Using the API, developers can create custom imports/exports
and custom integrations (such as integration with document management
and testing tools).
System Requirements
MS WinXP Pro or MS Windows Server2003 or MS Windows Vista, MS Word 2003
and above, MS Excel 2003 and above (optional), and MS Project
2003 and above(optional). Integration with stpsoft Storyboarding v3.01
and above (optional).
