About
Requs
Born from one small defect that had massive consequences
Built on research, driven by a mission to prevent software failures before they happen.
40 Years ago Ann Marie Neufelder was developing electronic warfare software. One small oversight had profound consequences.
This sparked a 30+ year mission to understand why software fails and how to prevent those failures before they cause harm.
REQUS.ai is the culmination of decades of research, thousands of failure analyses, and an unwavering commitment to improve the way we prevent, control and eliminate the true sources of software failures.
1990s Research begins
Ann Marie pioneered a large-scale effort to identify overrated practices and undervalued practices to support fact based decision-making.
2000s Data Collection
Ann Marie benchmarked hundreds of development factors at hundreds of engineering companies against the key outcomes - escaped defect density, probability of on time delivery and margin of error on delivery schedule.
2010s Developed the Common Defect Enumeration
By this point, Ann Marie had analyzed tens of thousands of defects by root cause. Surprisingly, all of them shrunk down to only a few hundred unique causes. More importantly, she figured out how to spot these without digging through code.
2022 The first ML defect prediction model
Decades of research culminated in Requs AI Predict in 2022, which predicts risk and defect density before the code is written. It has more data, factors, and accuracy than previous regression models.
2023 The first ML edge case/FMEA tool
In 2023, Requs AI Edge Case Prediction and Software FMEA was deployed, which predicts edge cases before the code is written.
Our mission is to ensure that you stop losing time and money on critical software defects.
Our Values
The principles that guide everything we do.
Facts and Research
Everyone else has opinions. We have 30+ years of facts and research.
Value added products
Every product was designed to add value to our customers. Reduce more defects – early- with minimal cost and time.
Integrated workflows
Our ML tools fit nicely between MBSE and automated test suites. Where no one else dares to go.
