A Functional Requirement View represents a set of frequently needed template requirements. You can import template requirements into your Evaluation Specification and adapt them, if necessary, to suit your specific needs. As a result, you will be able to significantly speed up authoring of an Evaluation Specification.

Functional Requirement Views will be of particular interest to business managers and business analysts who create Evaluation Specifications from scratch.

The first Functional Requirement View to be made available will be the 'Software Systems Functional Requirements View'. It is specifically designed to support software evaluation.

In addition, the EAS server will be enhanced and optimized in order to speed up information retrieval.

The new EAS release is slated for April 2007. Please stay tuned.
