STORM: Software Tool for the Organization of Requirements Modeling

Software engineering is a field of computer science with many areas for expansion and research. One of the most demanding aspects of this field is the specification of software. Attempting to describe and model a software system from scratch can be a time-consuming and tedious process, with many possible causes for problems during the process. STORM, or the software tool for the organization of requirements modeling, is a tool designed to streamline the process of specifying a software system by automating processes that help reduce errors. While many programs handle only the diagrams of a system´s specification, STORM was designed to maintain the text aspects of the specification, which can be as important as the graphical representations of the system. Details of the tool´s requirements and software model are presented in the paper, together with examples of its operational capabilities and snapshots of its user interface. A comparison with related work and pointers to future developments are also included
