Improve Requirements

Created: 1月 23, 2025 | Updated: 2月 04, 2025

Improve Requirements is a feature available in ValiAssistant. It takes a selected requirement or requirements, analyzes the requirement text, and suggests improvements. Additionally, these suggestions can be edited in the process before finalizing their creation. This feature automates the process of revising the quality of requirements, saving time and eliminating the risk of human error from this tedious process.

Here’s how it looks like:

Steps to Improve

Improve Requirements is composed of three main stages: “Pre-loading”, “Improvement Suggestions & Adjustments” and “Confirmation”. These stages are detailed bellow.

1 - Pre-loading

After triggering Improve Requirements, the user is informed of exactly how many requirements will be checked by the requirements improvement process and decide if they want to continue.

2 - Improvement Suggestions & Adjustments

At this stage the ValiAssistant has suggested improvements to the selected requirements. You can now compare the new and old requirements and edit the text fields of these new requirements.

You must now also select via the check box on the right which requirements you wish to improve, those that do not have their box ticked will be discarded.

Press Continue to finalize the improvement of these requirements or cancel to terminate the process.
