Resumen

Text-based requirements management tools are widely used in engineering today. The concept behind it is quite simple, but this simplicity does not mean that these tools are affordable. In most cases, the cost of a requirements management tool license is similar to the cost of a CAD software license, the latter pertaining to a much more complex software tool. At cosmoBots.eu we have developed a plugin for a free and open project management tool (Redmine) that turns it into a powerful requirements management tool, including automatic and instant hierarchy and dependency diagrams, import/export from/to spreadsheets, full interoperability with other tools using the REST API, also including role-based lifecycle management and reporting. Several projects in IAC (EST, MICAL, NRT...) are officially using cosmoSys-Req to manage their requirements, and other projects or institutions (GTC, IACTEC...) are currently evaluating their use.
