- Inhouse applications and solutions have their own appeal.
- But they also bring some challenges like maintainability and tool qualification.
- In the long-run, industry standard tools are often the better choice.

Ultimate frontloading, failure detection before modeling and implementation
Many development projects fail because inconsistent or incorrect functional requirement specifications are unveiled too late in the process, for instance, when the system has been implemented and contradictions are found last-minute during system tests.
Requirements Analysis on BTC EmbeddedPlatform enables to shift the detection of incomplete, incorrect and inconsistent functional requirements to the early stage of requirements elicitation.
“The hardest single part of building a software system is deciding precisely what to build. No other part of conceptual work is as difficult as establishing the detailed technical requirements. No other part of the work so cripples the resulting system if done wrong. No other part is as difficult to rectify later.“
[Frederick Brooks (IBM) 1987 Software Engineer and Computer Scientist (National Medal of Technology and the Turing Award)]
“The inability to produce complete, correct and unambiguous software requirements is still considered the major cause of software failure today.“
[Merlin Dorfman (Cisco) 1997 Quality Systems Advisor Engineer]
BTC EmebeddedPlatfrom supports Requirements Analysis for analyzing Completeness, Correctness and Consistency (CCC) of Formal Requirements specified in Universal Pattern.
A single formal requirement RUT (Requirement Under Test) is called complete to the set of other Formal Requirements SUR (SUrrounding Formal Requirements) when the conjoint behaviors of SUR allow to fulfill the RUT.
Implementation does not exist at all if RUT is incomplete to the SUR.
A set of formal requirements is called correct when all test cases which are defined for that set can be successfully executed and the execution verdict is “passed”.
Successful execution means that
simultaneous evaluation of formal requirements against a test case is possible in a sense that no requirement contradictions/consistencies occur during that assessment.
A single Formal Requirement RUT (Requirement Under Test) is called inconsistent to the set of other Formal Requirements SUR (SUrrounding Formal Requirements) when the conjoint behaviors of SUR allow to violate the RUT.
The RUT is said to be consistent if no such violation can exist.
Requirement Simulation enables simulation of requirements against defined test cases. Requirements are commonly abstract and not concrete enough for simulation. However, Symbolic Model Checking technology enabled simulation only with requirements. Thanks to the intelligent technology, BTC EmbeddedPlatform is possible to show one of possible simulation runs which does not violate any requirements.
This feature also helps debugging inconsistency of requirements and debugging correctness check failures.
