JRequire is a requirement coverage tool that facilitates focusing o­n requirements as you develop code.

JRequire works o­n top of the well known unit testing framework - JUnit, to identify the requirement coverage in the code. This also makes JRequire useful for projects, which use tools that operate o­n top of JUnit, such as, Cactus, StrutsTestcase, etc.

Why use JRequire?
JRequire facilitates efficiently managing the coverage of requirements in your code.

From a developer's perspective, JRequire faciliates getting an instant view of
- requirements successfully covered by code
- broken requirements
- requirements that are not covered

As a project manager you get a good visibility into whether you are meeting the project requirements, and the potential risk areas. In addition, as the code enhances and unit tests fail, you can identify the requirements that are at risk.

JRequire is well-integrated with the popular Eclipse IDE and ANT with an easy to use interface. This makes it convenient for developers to stay focused o­n the requirements without having to switch between tools.

Key Features
- Facilitates traceability of code to requirements during development.
- Well-integrated with the standard JUnit unit testing framework.
- Eclipse Plugin: Provides a convenient editor to manage requirements and an instant view to developers o­n requirement coverage as they develop code.
- Custom ANT Task: This is useful for automated builds and generating requirement coverage for the entire project.
- Sophisticated reporting o­n covered requirements, broken requirements and requirements with no coverage.
- Round trip engineering: Keep your source/external requirements files and JRequire requirements files in sync as your project proceeds.
- Refactoring: Keep your requirements files up-to-date when the unit tests are refactored.
