Requirements Quality Analyzer

Overview

The Requirements Quality Analyzer skill provides specialized capabilities for analyzing and scoring requirements quality against industry standards including BABOK (Business Analysis Body of Knowledge) and IEEE 29148 (Requirements Engineering). This skill enables automated validation, quality scoring, and improvement recommendations for requirements documentation.

Capabilities

INVEST Criteria Validation

• Validate requirements against INVEST criteria (Independent, Negotiable, Valuable, Estimable, Small, Testable)
• Score each criterion on a standardized scale
• Generate specific feedback for non-compliant requirements

SMART Criteria Assessment

• Assess requirements for SMART criteria compliance (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound)
• Identify gaps in requirement specificity
• Recommend improvements for vague or incomplete requirements

Language Quality Analysis

• Detect ambiguous language patterns (e.g., "may", "should", "appropriate")
• Identify passive voice usage that obscures accountability
• Flag jargon and undefined acronyms
• Check for consistent terminology usage

Acceptance Criteria Validation

• Identify incomplete or missing acceptance criteria
• Validate Given-When-Then format compliance
• Check for testability of acceptance criteria
• Ensure acceptance criteria align with requirement intent

Quality Scoring

• Calculate completeness scores based on required fields
• Assess consistency across related requirements
• Evaluate testability based on measurable outcomes
• Generate composite quality scores

Duplicate and Conflict Detection

• Flag duplicate or near-duplicate requirements
• Identify conflicting requirements within the same scope
• Detect overlapping requirements across features
• Highlight dependency conflicts

Improvement Recommendations

• Generate prioritized improvement recommendations
• Provide rewrite suggestions for low-quality requirements
• Create quality improvement action plans
• Track quality improvement over time

Usage

Basic Quality Analysis

Analyze the following requirements for quality:
[Requirements list]

Apply BABOK and IEEE 29148 standards to score each requirement.

INVEST Validation

Validate these user stories against INVEST criteria:
[User stories]

Provide a detailed score for each criterion and improvement suggestions.

Comprehensive Quality Report

Generate a comprehensive quality report for this BRD:
[BRD content]

Include quality scores, issues identified, and prioritized recommendations.
