The Cameo Requirements Modeler plugin integrates with other products to work with requirements no matter whether you are gathering them, importing from other tools, managing, publishing, analyzing or linking to other models as needed by your business processes, designs or test cases. All of this is available out of the box with this plugin for full model-based requirements engineering support.
The plugin implements the requirements part of the OMG SysML standard and provides a means to import and manage requirements in the model. Requirements Interchange Format (ReqIF) makes the plugin open for requirements interchange among different requirements management tools, including IBM DOORS, PTC Integrity, Polarion, and Siemens Teamcenter.
This product is designed for software engineers, business analysts and business architects, and other users, who need requirement support to ensure traceability from requirements to other model parts. This product is bundled as a part of the solution for systems engineers (Cameo Systems Modeler) and enterprise architects (Cameo Enterprise Architecture) and is available as a plugin for MagicDraw.
Model-based requirements engineering stands in the heart of any software or system modeling project bringing values:

Seamless traceability to designs and test cases and easy change impact analysis
Improved your team communication with simple and standard notation, clear diagrams, web portal, live requirements coverage metrics and generated requirements reports
Increased quality of your requirements due to the automatic validation and better structuring of your requirements
Saved time and resources by working with single integrated product for requirements, processes, and design
Easy extensibility to fit your needs
Problem solved

GAP between text based requirements and architecture in the model is the major problem this plugin and model-based requirements solves. This GAP solves the following problems:
Complicated workflow working with few products and synchronizing results
Unclear how and which requirements are implemented
Capture requirements in dedicated diagrams, matrixes, and tables, create glossaries and use them consistently in your requirements
Use for requirements: domain model based glossary , use cases, UI sketch diagrams
Import, interchange and synchronize
Once imported, requirements become first class citizens in the modeling world. Here is how support that:
Importing requirements in ReqIF format from requirement management tools, like IBM DOORS 9.4 and 9.5, IBM DOORS Next Generation, PTC Integrity, Polarion, Siemens Teamcenter, and other tools
Import requirements from the most commonly used formats as Comma Separated Values (CSV) and Microsoft Excel
Keep data synchronized in real time with IBM DOORS and IBM DOORS NG via No Magic's Cameo DataHub

Visualize
Once requirements are imported into model or captured they can be visualized in multiple predefined views:
Requirement table and diagram
Relation Maps: -
Structure map – showing requirements hierarchy
Derivation map – showing requirements derivation
Matrices:
Satisfy – showing requirements coverage with design
Verify – showing requirements coverage with test cases
Refine - showing further refinement of requirements
Link
Align requirements with your model:
Link and trace from requirements to other model elements of business, software, or systems architecture
Link with artifacts imported from other tool chain products: PLM tools (e.g. Teamcenter), CAD tools (e.g. Catia), and others

Publish
Built-in Microsoft Word Requirements report for publishing full requirements documentation for communicating to non-model users, reviewing or signing
Web portal for requirements projects review by stakeholders. No product installation is required to read requirements - automated publishing to web server makes up to date requirements available for wide audience
Fully customizable report templates to fit your organization requirements for document appearance and contents
Analyze
Traceability - visualizing, navigating, and analyzing traces from requirements to architecture, business processes or other models related to requirements. Manage Changes with powerful traceability functionality.
Validation - a facility for evaluating completeness and correctness of the models using built-in and custom validation suites. E.g. you will find not covered requirements, and it will be faster to communicate issues to other team members or fix them.
Metrics – a new generation of model-based customizable metrics allows tracking of required project parameters and coverage with design or test cases. Metrics results are tracked over time and allows trends discovery
Relation Maps show relations in dynamic and compact way:
Work on requirements in teams by using MagicDraw Teamwork Server repository which enables effective team collaboration, change and configuration management, allows for restricting access to the project, and multisite support
Simulate
Integration with OMG standard-based model execution, debugging, animation, and user interface prototypes supporting framework – Cameo Simulation Toolkit. It allows simulating future capability based on requirements parameters or imitate live user interface of future system

Tailor and Extend
Support for custom requirement types and adding custom properties for requirements
Validation of custom rules
Ability to customize existing metric suites and introduce your own
Customizable report templates for generating Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or other types of documents tailored according to the requirements in your specific organization
Ability to customize the product so that only the frequently used functionality is visible to end user
Use OpenAPI or scripts to add additional functionality or automate repeatable modeling tasks
Other Features
OMG standard requirements notation – requirements part of SysML standard
Refine - showing further refinement of requirements
OMG Requirements Interchange Format (ReqIF) files import from IBM Rational DOORS 9.4, 9.5, Next Generation, Polarion, PTC Integrity, Siemens TC, and other ReqIF 1.0 compatible data sources
Predefined reports
Requirements model report for whole model overview
Web portal for software (coming together with MagicDraw) and system engineering (coming together with SysML plugin or Cameo Requirements Modeler).
Validation suites: Completeness and correctness
Traceability schema
Coverage metrics for requirements coverage with design and testcases. Model-based metrics engine gives easy custom metrics creation ability
Model-based glossary, and much more available from MagicDraw products as a platform
