Reviewing and Accepting ReqWriter Suggestions

ReqWriter suggestions are optional by design

ReqWriter is built to support decision-making, not make decisions for you.

Every rewrite is a suggestion. You remain responsible for reviewing, approving, and applying any changes to your requirements

What you’ll see in a ReqWriter suggestion

When ReqWriter proposes a rewrite, you will typically see:

• The rewritten requirement text

• The updated quality score

• A history of the issues detected, such as vague wording, missing imperatives, or structure

This makes it easier to understand what changed and why before accepting anything.

How to review a suggestion

When reviewing a ReqWriter rewrite, consider the following:

Is the original intent preserved?

The rewrite should clarify wording without changing what the system is required to do.

Is the requirement easier to test?

Clear imperatives, isolated behaviors, and measurable conditions usually indicate improvement.

Does it follow your standards?

ReqWriter uses your active configuration and glossary, but you should still confirm alignment.

Your options when reviewing

You can:

• Copy the suggestion into your requirement

• Edit it further before accepting or copying

• Decline and regenerate a new option

• Ignore it entirely

Nothing is applied automatically, and you can always keep your original wording

Common use cases

Teams often use ReqWriter to:

• Split complex requirements into simpler ones

• Replace vague or optional language with testable wording

• Standardize phrasing across authors

• Speed up refinement during review cycles

Over time, this also helps authors learn what good requirements look like.

Best practice

Use ReqWriter as a starting point, not a final authority.

If the suggestion improves clarity and testability, it is doing its job. If it does not fully capture intent, adjust it or regenerate.

Key takeaway

ReqWriter helps you rewrite faster, but you stay in control of every requirement.
