In April 2011 the OMG has released the Requirements Interchange Format (ReqIF) specification, which standardizes the format for the exchange of textual requirements between different requirements management tools.
The Eclipse Requirements Modeling Framework (RMF) project provides an open source implementation of this standard. The presentation gives a short overview over the new ReqIF standard and demonstrates the current implementation. Additionally, we will demonstrate two approaches for bridging the gap between textual requirements and models:
* The first approach will demonstrate how to explicitly model links between the textual requirements and the model elements using YAKINDU CReMa.
* In the second approach we will integrate models directly into the textual requirements by using textual domain specific languages and Eclipse Xtext.
