Pur
pos
e
It is software’s nature to exhibit a list of issues whose
addressing is sporadically effective using naïve techniques. As
software is prone to such issues, there should be a way of
recording them before they occur, analyze them and eliminate or
confront them with solutions.

Scope
This Document contains various functional and non-functional
requirements of the RMT, assuming that the end user knows how to
frame a risk statement.

Requirements

Funct
ionalRequi

s:
The tool takes risk statements as its input. The duty of the RM
Tool is to

• Build and maintain a list of risks

• Calculate the Exposure of risks
