A lifecycle approach to system and software development is a must these days to meet the high expectations for products. TopTeam is the go-to choice if you're looking for a unified tool environment from requirements to test cases, with all requirements-related artifacts in a central repository and full end-to-end traceability.

There is no single notation that is suitable for precisely defining all types of requirements. That is why TopTeam offers a complete set of functions for clear and unambiguous descriptions: Use mind maps and wikis, AI support with your preferred AI provider, describe use cases with UML, SysML, or BPMN, and invoke your custom review and approval process as needed. All of this is available with just one click.

Turn to SodiusWillert for your complete and perfectly tailored TopTeam solution. Tap into our deep expertise acquired in many successful customer projects. We offer support for deployment, usage workshops, training, individual add-ons or enhancements, and integration into your lifecycle environment. We bring decades of experience from complex engineering projects, interdisciplinary and cross-domain, any size.
TopTeam's unique architecture provides a single source for creating, editing, and maintaining all requirements-related artifacts. Whether it's textual descriptions, use cases, architecture modules, process specifications, change requests, etc., everything is stored in a single repository.
With TopTeam, AI support is no longer just an afterthought. AI support is an integral part of TopTeam, enabling you to generate artifacts, automatically derive test cases or other assets, and make smarter decisions faster with a single click. With TopTeam, you can fully customize the AI support you need, including your preferred AI provider, whether in the cloud or on-premises.
TopTeam supports you with intelligent mechanisms for branching variant-related artifacts into new projects, allowing you to easily maintain and control common and divergent subsets of your requirements-related artifacts. Teams can work on variants in parallel, supported by user-friendly compare functions, selective deployment of changes, or merging of branches if necessary.
Don't just draw pictures when text isn't sufficient. Use the integrated TopTeam model editor to create UML, SysML, or BPMN diagrams, or automatically create activity diagrams or test cases from textual requirements. Use the model for joint reviews with your stakeholders to gain a common understanding of what is actually required. Even better: once you have reached agreement, hand over your models to engineering for immediate ongoing design work -- no conversion needed.
Customize the TopTeam trace schema to make it work best for your industry. Explore the rich set of inbult capabilities to explore and manage end-to-end traceability views. Automatically populate your trace matrix, identify gaps, and generate coverage or impact reports.
Maximize the value from your investment. Let our seasoned experts support you with planning, configuration, set-up, integration and training. We help you customize your TopTeam related processes for your project, and we support you when integration with your lifecycle tools is required. Our expertise is based on many succussful projects with clients and in our own labs.

Need help starting up with TopTeam Requirements Management? We have a large selection of professional training available online.
TopTeam enables the creation of visual representations of requirements, helping to refine the necessary functions or restrictions. Use the integrated model editor to create use case diagrams in UML, system diagrams in SysML, or process diagrams in BPMN. Choose a document-resembling view or a table view and leverage filters that help you focus on what's relevant. Link your models or your automatically created test cases to your requirements to ensure complete traceability throughout the entire lifecycle.
TopTeam features Requirements Quality Advisor, an AI-based support function that can help you create or improve requirements. TopTeam identifies requirements that do not meet the INCOSE standards for quality requirements and offers suggestions for remedial measures. With TopTeam, you can select Open AI, Azure OpenAI, DeepSeek, or Anthropic as your preferred AI provider. Use AI support to derive artifacts from your requirements, such as test cases to verify that the requirement has been met by the implementation.
Create test cases on any layer of systems refinement and link those to the artifacts to be verified. Bundle test cases to form test suites to foster reuse and organize test suites hierarchically or nested as needed. Create test run tasks and execution plans including resources required. Errors found are organized in defect backlogs or can be handled in your Kanban board. When working with Atlassian Jira you can easily synchronize defects with your corresponding Jira project using the in-built Jira interface. TopTeam features a test coverage matrix that provides you with an always up-to-date overview on progress and status of testing.
TopTeam comes with a comprehensive set of pre-defined artifact types, including requirements, specifications, test cases, defects, action items or change requests. Leverage pre-defined typse or add your own specific types as needed. TopTeam also lets you define your specific traceability rule sets that you can allocate to selected projects as suitable. Thus you can be sure that all team members will adhere to the rules set for the project, facilitating meaningful traceability reports across engineering domains.
TopTeam offers a set of features facilitating efficient configuration and variant management for small to medium-sized projects, including definition of baselines, or branching into variants. You can compare branches to see at first glance which branch specific modification should be transferred to other branches. And, since TopTeam supports managing components and assemblies you can fork or merge modules as needed to maintain transparency and control risks induced by overseen dependencies or overwhelming complexity.
