Hierarchy definition and analysis for requirement documentation

Abstract:

A requirement process document is received. The requirement process document specifies a plurality of requirements for developing a product. Each of the plurality of requirements is classified, using machine learning, as either a business requirement or a technical requirement. A hierarchy including a plurality of levels of business requirements and technical requirements is determined from the requirement process document. A particular level in the hierarchy for each of the business requirements and technical requirements and one or more relationships between the business requirement and the technical requirement within the hierarchy is identified. A realizing component and associated capability for implementing one or more of the technical requirements is identified.
