Half a year ago, we announced that a student, Said Salem, would work on creating a better reporting solution for ProR in the context of his master thesis. The good news is: He completed his thesis and passed the exam. The bad news: The resulting implementations did not mature beyond a prototype stage, meaning that…
The ProR tool already made an impact, both as the reference implementation of the ReqIF standard, and as an important puzzle piece for Eclipse-based Systems Engineering. But we also know that there is still some work to be done, before ProR becomes fit for industrial use. For this, we need your help. Read on to…
Another year has passed, and we would like to thank our customers and the users of our technologies for working with us. The holiday season is a good time for reflecting, and we are proud to see our motto – science for systems engineering – applied in practice. What we achieved has been made possible…
Formal Modeling is an approach that makes regulatory compliance easier. A prerequisite is MBSE.
Today is Blog Action Day. It’s a day for spreading awareness of human rights, or the lack thereof, in the world. As a corporation, we have to be concerned with being profitable. Nevertheless, our roots are in academica, and our products are based on open source. Thus, we have a strong culture of sharing. We…
The Requirements Interchange Format (ReqIF) came a long way, ever since its inception in 2004, when members of the Herstellerinitiative Software (HIS), a trade association of five major car manufacturers, decided to commission the creation of a requirements exchange format. Step by step, the standard became more mature and was changing patronage, until it finally…
The RMF team is proud to announce the 0.8.0 version of RMF and ProR (Download) to spice up your summer. The most visible improvements regards the handling of default values, which we will describe further below. You can also import examples into your workspace via File | New | Example…. This should be useful to…
We’ve all seen it: You need to write a spec, so you open Word, write some text, you copy a state diagram from Enterprise Architect, and eventually send it off as a PDF. Okay, things are slightly better now. In the Eclipse ecosystem, maybe you are using Papyrus for modeling with UML or SysML. You…
ProR doesn’t yet support mature reporting features. Right now only a simple HTML-Version of a requirements document can be generated (you can access this via the print menu). A better visual representation of the requirements document has been requested many times by users. For instance, such a reporting mechanism would support analysis and traceability. We are…
Use Cases are a popular method for recording requirements. With little effort, ProR can make recording Use Cases easy and traceable. To demonstrate this, we use ProR itself as an example. Below is a screenshot of ProR, recording the use case “Create a new SpecObject”. You can download this requirements model from the Eclipse git…
