Requirements analysis is a nontrivial, tedious, error prone and time consuming process. This paper describes a tool that automates identification of requirements defects that exist because of inadequate use of language for the purpose intended. The paper also describes results of using the tool on actual requirements documents from different industries. Our results show that the tool identifies defects that often escape detection by human inspectors.
