How it works

ScopeMaster® is an intelligent tool for software requirements analysis. It reads requirements text and performs time-consuming analysis work for you. It parses, interprets, tests, cross-references and even estimates user stories. It finds potential problems, such as ambiguities, duplicates, omissions, inconsistencies and complexities. ScopeMaster® makes transparent use of Artificial Intelligence (NLP) to accelerate analysis whilst ensuring consistent results.

Static Requirements Analysis

ScopeMaster analyses requirements in a similar way that sonarQube and others analyse code.

10x ROI in typically two months

ScopeMaster® will typically find, and help you fix, 30 – 60% of all requirements issues, many times faster than manual analysis. ScopeMaster® is also the first tool ever to automate functional sizing from requirements (both COSMIC Function Points and IFPUG FP). 

Excellent Integration

A rich REST API allows flexible integration with any tool, DevOps or CI/CD toolchain.
