TRLC is a domain-specific language developed at BMW for writing (and linking) requirements with meta-data.
The repository contains:
-
The language reference manual for TRLC. Previous versions are also available.
-
A pure Python reference implementation of TRLC.
The implementation is not very fast, but designed to be pedantically correct in following the language definition. The tools also include a powerful static analysis tool to find issues with types and user-defined check rules.
The Python implementation can be used for several purposes:
-
It can be used to validate other TRLC implementations.
-
It can be used to validate a body of requirements (e.g. a CI check that all requirements are well formed)
-
The API can be used to write other tools based on TRLC (for example a tool to render the requirements in HTML, a tool to diff requirements or perform an impact analysis, or a tool to perform software traceability, etc.)
