Tools

Non-Functional Requirements Modeling Tool

I have developed a tool to support non-functional requirements (NFRs) modeling based on the notations from the NFR framework [book, paper, draft]. This tool is implemented as a UML profile, which we call the Softgoal Profile, that extends and works with StarUML, an open-source UML modeling tool. The Softgoal Profile is available here.
