README
Overview
rmtoo is a free and open source requirements management tool.
rmtoo uses a different approach than most other requirements management tools: it comes as a command line tool which is optimized for handling requirements. The power of rmtoo lies in the fact that the development environment can handle the input and output files - there is no need for a special tool set environment.
Example: if you need to handle baselines (and there often is), rmtoo can be configured using a revision control system (e.g. git). The revision control system can handle different revisions, baselining, tagging, branching and many other things extremely well - there is no reason to reinvent the wheel and making it less efficient.
Let one thing do one thing.

Unique Feature Set
rmtoo fits perfectly in a development environment using text editors and command line tools such as emacs, vi, eclipse, make, maven.
- Use simple text files as input - use your favorite editor
- Many different output formats and artifacts are supported:
- PDF - with links to dependent requirements
- HTML - also with links to dependent requirements
- Requirements dependency graph
- Requirement count history graph
- Lists of unfinished requirements including priority and effort estimation - e.g. for use in agile project development
- Fully integrated revision control system: git. Usages: history, statistics and baseline handling.
- A topic based output handling provides a common set of files for different types of output (PDF, HTML, …)
- Complete support for automatic checking of constraints.
- Analytics modules: Heuristics help to evaluate the quality of requirements
- Modules to support commercial biddings based on a given set of requirements
- Emacs mode files for editing requirements and topics included
- Experimental output in XML
- Fully integrated with Makefile handling of all artifacts
- Fully modular design: additional output requires minimal effort
- During parsing most common problems are detected: all syntax errors and also many semantic errors.
- Fully automated test environment - tests about 95% of the code and is shipped with rmtoo packages to check for possible problems in different environments.
rmtoo is not a fully integrated, tries-to-do-everything tool with a colorful GUI or different database backends.
