About us
Traceability that keeps up with the code.
APEQS makes requirements traceability part of everyday software development. We keep track of how requirements connect to the code and tests that fulfil them, for teams building safety-critical software in automotive, defence and aerospace.
Traceability is usually rebuilt by hand. We keep it current.
Today
- Requirements, code and tests live in separate tools.
- The proof that they connect is put together by hand, often in spreadsheets, just before an audit.
- It is slow, and it goes out of date the moment the code changes.
With APEQS
- Requirements live as text next to the code.
- They are linked to the code and tests that fulfil them, and the links are checked automatically.
- Traceability stays current as a by-product of the work, and gives you evidence for your compliance work.
