REQUIREMENTS ENGINEERING

RE covers how teams elicit, analyze, specify, validate, and manage functional and non‑functional requirements so that systems meet stakeholder needs. Typical pain points include ambiguity, incomplete coverage, inconsistent updates across downstream artifacts, and the rework caused by requirement changes.

AI‑ASSISTED ELICITATION AND SPECIFICATION

AUTOSAD can generate system functional requirements (SFRs) from simple keywords/prompts and guides teams through elicitation us

ROLE‑AWARE GUIDANCE

You can choose a viewpoint (User, Developer, Legislator, Decision‑maker) so prompts and suggestions reflect the stakeholder lens you’re working from, which reduces back‑and‑forth and missed concerns.

Context‑aware prompts across artifacts: The same prompt (e.g., “login”) produces the right asset depending on where you are - requirements list, use‑case view, interaction diagrams, etc. lowering cognitive load and cutting prompt engineering overhead.

Use Case Models

Use-case models capture how external actors (users, systems) achieve goals with a system, defining scope and functional behavior at a black box level. Use-case models give you a clean, stakeholder‑friendly map of system behavior; AUTOSAD layers GenAI on top to derive those models directly from requirements, keep them consistent as things change, and push them forward into concrete design and implementation artifacts (APIs, data, deployments). This shortens the path from “what users need” to “what we automate.”

Productivity and Efficiency Boost

CORE ELEMENTS

Actors, the system boundary, named use cases (verb–noun), and relationships (include/extend, generalization). Each use case is typically elaborated by a use case specification with preconditions, main/alternate flows, postconditions, and exceptions.

WHY TEAMS USE THEM:

They clarify scope early, enable stakeholder communication, trace functional requirements to design/test artifacts, and provide a stable backbone for downstream design, APIs, and test scenarios.

How AUTOSAD helps—recommendations and automation from your requirements

REQUIREMENTS CAPTURE AND GUIDANCE

AUTOSAD provides GenAI-assisted requirements elicitation (W6H pattern) and engineering insights, helping you move from informal statements to structured System Functional Requirements (SFRs). Changes in requirements automatically ripple through system models (use cases, interactions, data, deployment), maintaining consistency.

AUTO-DERIVATION OF USE CASES

From SFRs, AUTOSAD generates use case diagrams and detailed use case specifications; interaction diagrams can then be generated for each use case. This builds a traceable path from requirement → use case → behavior.

Use Case Models

COLLABORATION

Share your system design with colleagues, or sent for governors/reviewers approval right from the tool. Project management, multi-project support, team collaboration, versioning/history, role-based access, and share/export controls simplify multi-stakeholder work.

GOVERNANCE AND CONTROL

AUTOSAD offers simplistic standards control and compliance to your enterprise standards, it lets governors guide teams early, route system design for architecture review/feedback/approval, and maintains an auditable, transparent review process.

Productivity and Efficiency Boost

Why it Matters?

The combination of requirements to design automation, context aware prompting, and templates/exports shortens the design phase, reduces rework from requirement changes, and improves cross role alignment through a single source of truth for system models and software architecture and design document. Governance features reduce the cycle time and friction around standards and review approvals.

Above all, the human-in-the-loop system architecture and design document acts as a guide and controls code generation by AI tools and Vibe coding, reducing the time and cost of development substentially.

Private LLM Support

For enterprises adopting private LLMs under strict data sovereignty rules, AUTOSAD delivers private LLM‑powered system‑design platform that can run on‑premises or in your cloud, keeping requirements, models, and prompts under your control and within your jurisdiction.

Functional Requirements

Functional requirements define what the system should do. They outline specific features, behaviors, and interactions expected from AUTOSAD.

1. Clarity: Ensure requirements are clear and understandable.
2. Consistency: Avoid conflicts and redundancies.
3. Stakeholder Involvement: Engage users and stakeholders early and continuously.
4. Prioritization: Rank requirements by importance and feasibility.
5. Traceability: Maintain links between requirements and their origins.
6. Flexibility: Be open to changes and updates.
economically viable.

Non-Functional Requirements

Non-functional requirements address system qualities like performance, security, and usability. AUTOSAD ensures a robust and reliable experience.

1. Clarity: Define non-functional requirements clearly and precisely.
2. Measurability: Ensure they can be measured or quantified.
3. Realism: Set achievable and realistic goals.
4. Prioritization: Determine which non-functional requirements are most critical.
5. Consistency: Maintain consistency with functional requirements and each other.
6. Documentation: Keep well-organized records of non-functional requirements.

Use Case Models

Use case models depict system interactions from a user’s perspective. Autosad covers scenarios like model creation, parameter tuning, and result analysis.

1. Clarity: Ensure use cases are understandable and unambiguous.
2. Completeness: Cover all scenarios, including alternate and exception paths.
3. Consistency: Align use cases with functional requirements and each other.
4. Stakeholder Involvement: Engage users and stakeholders to validate use cases.
5. Documentation: Maintain detailed and organized records of use cases.
6. Prioritization: Identify and focus on the most critical use cases first.

Interaction Diagrams

Interaction models illustrate how different system components communicate. Autosad’s interaction models ensure seamless coordination between AI algorithms and user inputs.

1. Clarity: Make diagrams easy to read and understand.
2. Completeness: Include all relevant interactions and messages.
3. Consistency: Ensure diagrams are consistent with use cases and requirements.
4. Stakeholder Involvement: Get feedback from stakeholders to validate interactions.
5. Documentation: Keep well-organized records of all interaction diagrams.
6. Prioritization: Focus on key interactions that are critical to the system.

Data Models

Data models are abstract representations that define the structure, organization, and relationships among data elements in a system.

1. Clarity: Ensure data models are easy to understand and interpret.
2. Completeness: Include all necessary entities, attributes, and relationships.
3. Consistency: Align data models with business requirements and other system models.
4. Stakeholder Involvement: Engage stakeholders to validate the accuracy and relevance of the data model.
5. Documentation: Keep detailed and organized records of data models.
6. Normalization: Ensure data is structured efficiently to avoid redundancy.

Application Models

Application models are abstract representations that define the structure, behavior, and interactions of the various components of an application.
