Abstract
A front end client-server application configured to synchronize requirements between a requirements repository and a testing repository. The front end client-server application validates a requirement, processes at least one filter associated with the requirement, determines a requirement type of the requirement, and processes the requirement. In addition, the method comprises updating a testing application in accordance with the processed requirement. In addition, it can be determined whether a plurality of requirements received by the front end client-server application that need to be synchronized contain traceability relationships. If so, the front end client-server application replicates the traceability relationship between the requirements to be synchronized and any relevant, existing requirements at the testing repository. Furthermore, the front end client-server application allows a user to customize the requirements synchronization process.
