The third issue of the Journal in 2001 contained two interesting articles concerning requirements management, one about requirements completeness and one about use of requirements management tools for verification management. The latter also included a challenge to tool developers to produce tools that meet the combined requirements from requirements and verification management. The issues in the articles are discussed from a tool developer's point of view. Concerning the issue of requirements' completeness, it is suggested that we should not try to reach completeness, but rather “sufficiency” with a changing meaning through a project's life cycle. Concerning use of requirements management tools for verification, it is explained how the three processes of requirements management, design, and verification must be concurrent and interacting, something that must be recognized by the designers of the tools used. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
