Watch a short intro video

• Increasing complexity of intelligent technical systems
• Increasing size of requirements specifications
• Required compliance to domain-specific development standards

• High-quality requirements by design
• Reduced effort for requirements reviews and transition to model-based development
• Improved traceability and impact analysis from textual requirements to model-based work products

• Context-based pattern suggestions
• Auto completion
• Error highlighting

• Syntactic checks while writing
• Semantic checks by the press of a button
