    <p>I am developing one.</p> <p>About a year ago I looked for requirement management software on the 'net and found at least 30 of them, in approximately 3 categories:</p> <ul> <li><p>Priceless (and marketed e.g. at aerospace companies)</p></li> <li><p>Expensive (e.g. $1000s per seat), which my employers have never chosen to use</p></li> <li><p>Cheap or free, but missing features which seem to me important</p></li> </ul> <p>There are also general-purpose tools (e.g. Wiki, or emails and Word documents and/or Spreadsheets), which too are missing features which seem to me important.</p> <hr> <blockquote> <p>I think you should elaborate re: "are missing features which seem to me important". </p> </blockquote> <p>There are things which you <em>can</em> do with a general-purpose Wiki:</p> <ul> <li>Create a list of features</li> <li>Describe each feature (perhaps a separate page/section for each feature)</li> <li>Do this collaboratively (version control, update notifications, discussion pages)</li> </ul> <p>But, there are some things which I think you can't do with a general-purpose Wiki, even pretty basic things:</p> <ul> <li><p>Define custom attributes (e.g. "Date started", "Estimated cost", etc.); associate these attribute values with your features; list features (in a table or grid) with their attributes (so that they can be sorted, e.g. sorted by "Importance" or by "Difficulty")</p></li> <li><p>Help with traceability (traceability not too difficult when there are only two stages, e.g. "requirements" and "implementation"; but it's harder when there are several stages, e.g. "use cases", "functional spec", "architecture", "implementation details", "test cases", "test results", and "bug reports")</p></li> <li><p>Support structured information, i.e. subsections and not just top-level sections.</p></li> </ul> <p>Even simply editing isn't a nice as it ought to be. Business people might prefer use an MS Word UI for editing: but MS Word produces documents, i.e. "information silos"; but if you don't use MS Word, then you're using what? A WYSIWYG in-browser editor? Or markdown syntax?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
