There are several requirements management computer programs on the market for storing all requirements of all specifications of a technical system under development, which are arranged in a specification tree and linking each one to the "parent" requirement in the higher specification.
Evaluation functions allow for

- assessment of requirements deviations over all levels
- qualification status presentation
