2.2 Tools

There are many tools available for requirements engineering. These include free or cheap ones, like Microsoft Word and Excel, Wikis and issue trackers. There are expensive, professional ones available, like IBM Rational DOORS, PTC Integrity or Visure IRQA. Lately, there are also web-based tools, like Polarion.

ProR falls into the category of free tools. But compared to the ones mentioned, it contains important features from professional tools, including traceability and typed attributes. Further, by taking advantage of the Eclipse ecosystem, the tool can be augmented by plug-ins for version support, model integration and much more.
