OSRMT vs ReqView

OSRMT is a free, configurable open-source tool for defining and managing software requirements. Its workflow spans features, requirements such as use cases, design, implementation, and test cases, while tracking how requirements connect and progress. Work can be organized by phase, and teams can configure the tool and manage multiple projects at once. The project describes both a single-user desktop application and a multiuser web application with a centralized server and desktop or web client. The README lists Windows, Linux (CentOS), and macOS as tested systems. Desktop setup requires one of those operating systems, an archive utility, and JRE 1.8 or later. The web version deploys on JBoss and is accessible locally on port 8080. Oracle, MySQL, MS SQL, and PostgreSQL are listed as external database options; no additional database setup is required for initial use. The project uses the GNU GPL-2.0 license. Users can look to issue reports, a request process, an FAQ, online source and documentation, and a community support email address.

ReqView is a requirements management tool for hardware, software and systems engineering projects. It supports V-Model development with formal verification, end-to-end traceability and audit trails, and is presented for safety-critical fields including medical devices, aerospace and defense, automotive, railways, robotics and electronics. Users can import Word documents and capture structured requirements with formatted text, tables, images, PDFs and other attachments. Requirements can link to verification and validation items and safety risks, allowing teams to analyze coverage and change impact. Reports export to Word, Excel, PDF or HTML. Teams can collaborate and version projects through Git or Subversion, while project data uses human-readable JSON. Open project data is stored in local application storage; it is not sent to the internet unless users explicitly use Google Drive, cloud-hosted Git or SVN, or Jira Cloud. The FREE plan costs nothing and allows one document, 150 objects per document and one custom attribute. PRO costs €440 a year per user; TEAM costs €600 a year per user and adds dashboards, linked projects, advanced Git version control and integrations. ReqView runs on the web, Windows 11+, supported Linux distributions and macOS 15+ on ARM processors.
