Overview

Valispace is shown on the site as a requirements management product that now appears as Requirements Portal after Altium acquired Valispace and integrated its technology into the Altium ecosystem. The product is positioned around capturing requirements and linking them to designs, systems, verifications, and test cases for traceability.

The page text describes a workflow that runs from product specification and requirements gathering through system design, verification, and review. It is aimed at hardware engineering teams that need one place to keep requirements, design decisions, test work, and review activity connected.

Key capabilities

Requirements traceability

Capture product requirements and connect them to designs, systems, verifications, and test cases so teams can follow traceability across the engineering workflow.

Project specification

Start projects with requirements and keep them linked to system design, tests, reporting, and related work as the project evolves.

Design-system impact view

See how design options affect the whole system so teams can evaluate trade-offs before locking decisions.

Automated verification updates

Run automatic verifications and background calculations to reduce manual document updating during verification work.

Review and convergence workflow

Bring reviews and verifications into the same workspace as requirements and systems data for real-time collaboration.

Common use cases

Specifying a new product
Teams can start a hardware project by defining requirements, then connect those requirements to system design, tests, reporting, and related project artifacts.
Evaluating system design choices
Engineers can compare design options against the broader system to understand trade-offs before moving ahead with a chosen direction.
Running verifications and reviews
Verification teams can manage checks and reviews in the same workspace as requirements and systems data, which keeps the workflow connected.
Maintaining traceability across the project
Programs that need ongoing traceability can link requirements to test cases and design work so changes remain visible across the project.
