kravstyringsdatabase

A kravstyringsdatabase is a repository and set of tools used to manage requirements across a project or program lifecycle. It stores requirements, their attributes, relationships, and versioned history, together with related artifacts such as design elements, test cases, and change requests. The purpose is to provide a single source of truth and to support end-to-end traceability from stakeholder needs through to implementation and verification.

The data model typically includes entities such as requirements, stakeholders, authors, versions, statuses, priorities, and related design or test artifacts. Relationships are used to capture traceability links, such as which requirements derive from others, which design components fulfill a requirement, and which test cases verify it. A kravstyringsdatabase also records change history, baselines, approvals, and impact analysis information to support governance and audits.

Key features often found in these systems include capture and organization of requirements, versioning and baselining, change management and approval workflows, impact analysis, search and filters, tagging and attributes, and reporting. They may integrate with other tools in application lifecycle management (ALM) ecosystems, such as project management, design, testing, and configuration management systems, enabling synchronized workflows and unified reporting.

Common benefits include improved visibility and consistency of requirements, better change control and risk management, enhanced traceability across artifacts, and support for regulatory compliance and quality assurance. The choice of kravstyringsdatabase can vary from standalone databases to part of larger ALM suites, and deployments may be on-premises or cloud-based, with attention to data integrity, access control, and auditability.
