A short introduction to the VERDE tools that focusses on traceability on Eclipse for UML, Requirements and AUTOSAR. The scope of the project, as described in the proposal, is to provide an implementation for the OMG ReqIF standard. Requirements management tools could then base their implementation on the provided ReqIF metamodel. It is also in the scope of the project to deliver a requirements authoring tool, again based on the ReqIF metamodel and optionally a generic traceability solution.
