ScopeMaster is a software requirements analysis tool designed by ScopeMaster Ltd that automates some aspects of software requirements analysis.

Description edit

ScopeMaster is the world's first commercial tool for analysing software requirements. It uses Natural Language Processing to determine the likely functional intent(s) of individual written requirements. It generates:

"ScopeMaster, the first commercial tool, which performs a COSMIC measurement on a set of free-form textual requirements in English, and other languages. ScopeMaster performs several successive steps of analysis, individually and collectively, on the textual requirements in order to detect possible Objects of Interest, potential users, potential data movements and potential defects."[1]

According to Professor Paul Boudreau in his book Applying AI to Project Management, "ScopeMaster can expose poor requirements using NLP".[2] [3]

“Not only did I get a function point count, but it helped me to figure out how many programmers, business analysts and testers should work on the project."[4]
