SoftREQ - Getting Started

 

How SoftREQ Works

SoftREQ allows you to enter your software requirements into a database.  You can enter the following:

After entering your requirements, you can request a Requirements document template to be emailed to you. The Requirements document template is a Microsoft Word document.

You can run requirements reports that can be copied from the website and paste into your Requirements document template.  The Requirements document template clearly indicates which reports to run and where the reports should be pasted into your Requirements document template.

You can update your requirements, re-run your requirements reports and re-paste report output into the Requirements document. When your finished, you will have a professional looking Requirements document for Customer review and approval.
