AUTOMATED REQUIREMENT MEASUREMENT TOOL -ARM TOOL













The objective of the Automated Requirement Measurement Tool (ARM) is to provide measures that can be used to assess the quality of a requirement specification document.   The tool is not intended to evaluate the correctness of the specified requirements.  It is an aid to “writing the requirements right,“ not “writing the right requirements”.


The ARM tool scans a file designated by the user as the text file that contains the requirement specifications.  During the scanning process, the ARM tool searches each line of text for specific words and phrases.  These search arguments (specific words and phrases) are considered to be indicators of the document’s quality as a specification of requirements.

While the source file is being scanned, an ASCII text report file is created in the same directory as the source “.txt” file designated by the user.  The ARM tool gives the report file the same prefix name as the user’s source file and adds an extension of  “.arm”.  This report file contains a summary report and detailed reports for specific quality indicators.
