Manage Requirements

Get requirements out of their lockbox and in front of the development team building to your specifications: no exports needed. Remove the tedium from tracking requirements and verification status through live links to scripts, tests, and other design data from your Violet Integrations.

Grant your team access to a Programs to give them visibility to your requirements — free.

Get Your Requirements Everywhere they Need to Be

Customer requirements live in a tool you don't use? Love your current requirements management tool but need requirements in other applications?

Create a Violet Integration to other requirements management tools, including: Jama, Flow, Valispace and more.

  • Help your team view requirements without overpaying for access

  • Push sync'd requirements to downstream tools, like GitHub or Jira

  • Easily view the applications and entities in other tools where requirements were shared in a Multisource report

Decompose Requirements with Clarity

Keep all your requirements accessible in one view and see decomposition hierarchy all the way down.

  • Link your Violet Requirements to the customer's requirements sync'd from a Violet Integration

  • Use simple requirements nesting to convey parent/child relationships

  • Apply Systems to group requirements into sets of traditional "specifications"

  • Reorder requirements in tabular views to stay organized

  • Graphically view hierarchies

  • Add Custom Fields and relationships to tailor Violet to your needs

Continuously Monitor for Requirements Compliance via Links to Live Design

Get your time back from compliance assessments and chasing the team to provide their current performance predictions.

Violet's math and data-aware requirements update compliance automatically as design changes.

  • Extract mathematical values from requirements and compare them against other data on Violet - from Scripts, CAD, models, supplier data sheets, etc.

  • Easily view which requirements are in or out-of-spec according to the latest design data

Freely Collaborate while Controlling Requirements Release

Requirements are central to developing hardware: everyone needs easy access to them! With Violet, any member of your program team can view requirements and collaborate.

  • Any team member can add comments to requirements and tag a colleague

  • Initiate peer and approval reviews to solicit input from the team, including your customers

  • Track all changes to requirements and view in a change log

Accelerate Verification Closure with Linked Events and Status Tracking

Link your Violet Requirement to its verification and let Violet track the completion status.

Integrate your test management tools to drive verification closures.

  • Clearly communicate team responsibility: Violet sets the verifying team member to the owner of the linked test event

  • Easily view completion status of linked verification events

  • Your Verification Traceability Matrix is always up-to-date

(Soon) Reuse Requirements to Deliver Common Products While Customizing When Needed

FAQs

Can my team access Violet Requirements?

Yes; users who only need to view requirements are free. Uses who need to edit requirements are considered a requirements user and require a license; see Pricing for details.

I already use a requirements tool: why would I use Violet?

There are great requirements management tools in the market! We've observed their data can become siloed and teams can be challenged to keep the whole group up-to-date. Further, requirements are often disconnected from the design and verification data relating to them, so systems engineers spend lots of time manually keeping things aligned.

Violet offers a means for teams to access their requirements at no extra charge, while also dynamically linking your specs to other data on the platform. Set up a link once and get notified of changes while your traceability products are automatically updated (verification traceability matrices, e.g.). Gone are the days of exporting to CSV: if you need your requirements data in other tools, Violet can synchronize updates to the appropriate destinations.

Can my customer or partner organization access Violet Requirements?

Yes! Violet supports Guest Users, which grants your external collaborators read-access to requirements and the ability to view and add comments.

Instead of exporting your latest specs and posting that data to the customer's portal, just invite your stakeholders to Violet where they can directly collaborate!
