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
