Manage the Iron Triangle

Reduce overkill, optimize ROI

You can’t have zero defects, on time delivery, low cost and a rich feature set.  So, software teams must make strategic choices about where to allocate their resources.  The challenge is knowing which development and testing methods will provide the greatest return on investment (ROI) in defect reduction without negatively impacting other critical metrics. Requs AI Optima is for balancing the Iron Triangle.

  • Organizations are overkilling some development factors

    Most development factors have diminishing return on investment. The problem is that software engineering has been overkilling a good thing for 5 decades.

  • ...And neglecting practices that add value

    Because of the overkill, there isn't time or money for practices that do have value

  • Guessing what works and what doesn't can take forever

    Even with Agile development, you can't afford to guess which practices to reduce and which ones to embrace

  • Data driven confidence

    Facts and data don't lie. Requs.ai will tell you which factors have the highest ROI.

  • AI-Powered

    Built from the world's largest defect density benchmarking study.

  • Overkill checker

    Moderation is usually the key to success. Requs AI Optima identifies the overkilled practices as well as the ones that don't have value at all. Risk ID

  • Risk ID

    The Requs AI Risk Identification comes with Optima. It predicts one of 7 project risk levels from distressed to world class. Requs AI Optima then identifies the cheapest way to success.

How Requs.ai Optima  works

From Q&A to defect density and escaped defects

Answer some questions

About the product, development practices and environment. The more you know the more accurate the prediction.

AI Analysis and Risk ID

Requs.ai predicts efect density and risk level (percentile ranking) from the AI model

Overkill checker

Requs.ai displays practices you have too much of (or shouldn't do at all) so you can interactively see the effect of removing each one

Advanced sensitivity checker

Requs.ai displays practices with highest ROI that you are neglecting so you can interactively see effect of embracing each one

Interactive iron triangle

Once you've got the overkill and underkill optimized, use the sliders to instantly identify altnerative scenarios to avoiding death by technical debt

AI-powered software project risk identification
Iron Triangle

The Iron Triangle dares to tell the truth about popular but ineffective practices

  • Confidence

    The more questions you answer (accurately) the better the confidence in the prediction

  • Established

    We have the largest defect density benchmarking of it's kind. 600+ development factors. 30+ years of trends.

  • Easy

    Interactive sliders update the scenarios instantly.

Flexible purchasing options

  • Integrated product suite

    Requs AI Predicts covers the software failure rate, site reliability and error budget while Requs AI Software FMEA generates an effective software FMEA.

  • Integrated workflow/API

    Requs AI S has an API and open architecture. Use this with other tools like QSM SLIM.

  • Licensing options

    Dedicated or floating licenses. Yearly subscriptions or perpetual plans. Cloud or Desktop solution.

  • Tiered editions

    Feature tiers allow you to purchase only the features you need.

  • Standards

    IEEE 1633

  • Air Gapped Support

    Requs AI runs on air gapped systems
