In the Course ETS170 Requirement Engineering at Lund University, the Requirement Engineering tool reqT has been used to model requirements but it ahs been identified that the tool in its current form is difficult to use for students with limited programming experience. To solve this problem, this application has been developed in order to appeal to both developers and non-developers. The application has primarily been built using Scala.js and React.
- Download the latest release at https://github.com/reqT/reqT-webapp/releases
- Unzip the
reqT.zip - Make the
reqTfolder your working directory - On Windows you may use
reqT.batto start the REPL andstart.batto start the webapp (by double-clicking the files in the File Explorer) - On Linux or Mac OS X you may start the REPL using
java -jar reqT.jarand the webapp using./start.sh
git clone https://github.com/reqT/reqT-webappcd reqT-webappsbt run- this will build continously, so you may edit files while the webapp is running and then refresh your browser window
Substitute {string} with your information.
git clone https://github.com/reqT/reqT-webappcd reqT-webappgit checkout -b {myFeatureOrFix}- Fork the repository on github, you will get your own repo at
https://github.com/{myUsername}/reqT-webapp - Add your remote repo to git
git remote add myFork https://github.com/{myUsername}/reqT-webapp - Write your changes and commit them
- Push them to your fork
git push myFork {myFeatureOrFix} - Create a pull-request against the appropriate branch of the reqT-webapp repo (most of the time this will be master).
Add elements by finding them in the list and then dragging them into place in the model. The position of the element is indicated by the temporary node. It is not possible to add children to attributes, and this is indicated by a red border. The elements can be removed by pressing the Delete-button, the button with a cross.
- Click on a node to select it. When a node is selected it will have a black border.
- Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C and Ctrl + V will cut, copy, and paste the selected element of the tree.
- Pressing Delete-key will delete selected element and its children.
- Holding Ctrl while dragging and dropping an element or submodel will copy instead of moving it.
Double-click on the element you want to update. A window like the one in the picture below will appear, do the changes and press Save Changes . Relation types can be changed by just selecting a new type from the drop-down menu next to the element node in the model.
Press the add button, the button with a green plus and then chose if you want to create a new empty model by pressing add empty model or one that is a clone of the current model by pressing add current model. All models can be found in the list and to switch between models just click the tabs. Models can be deleted by pressing the Delete-button, the button with a cross on.
To import models saved in text files press the Import-button and select which file you want to open. The file will be opened in a new model.
To Export models, press the Export-button and it will automatically be downloaded in a text file.
To open a template model press the Templates menu in the header, click on the desired template and reqT will let you open it in a new model.
To do a 100 dollar prioritization first construct the model you want to conduct it on or choose the Prioritization $100 method template, and then press the 100$-button in the header and specify on what entities the method should be carried out. When you press the OK-button, reqT will let you save the result as a new model.
First, construct the model you want to rank or choose the Prioritization Ordinal Ranking template. Then, press the Ordinal Ranking-button and choose on which entity to perform the ranking. reqT will let you rank the entities in pairs and set a deviation number. Pick the one with the highest priority in each pair by clicking on it. The prioritized entity are highlighted with a green background. Press OK and reqT will let you save the result as a new model.
To do a release planning on a model, it must follow the particular pattern. Models following this pattern can be found in templates Release planning I and Release planning II. When an appropriate model is active, you can press the Release-button and specify how to perform the method. Then press OK-button and reqT will let you save the result as a new model.
A searchable and filterable list containing all reqT Elements. To search just write what you're looking for in the search box. To filter either check the filter boxes or type entity or attribute in the search box. Drag these elements into the tree when you want to add something to your model.
The terminal can be used to interact with the reqT process. The send model-button will send the current model to the process; the model will be accessible by a variable called resX, where X is a number. There is also a Get-method that can be used to fetch and save models. This means that you can manipulate the model using the terminal. You will have to fetch the model from the process by using the Get-method, and if you want to work on a model from the GUI, you first have to send it to the process. The restart reqT-button will restart the connection to the server if it disconnects.
