Core Platform

Requirements Management

Hierarchical requirements with unlimited depth. Custom IDs, parent-child relationships, and full traceability links between requirements, test cases, and design elements.

  • Custom Hierarchy Levels

    Configure your own requirement types: System/Software/Hardware or Aircraft/System/LLR/HLR

  • Smart Custom IDs

    Automatic ID generation with custom prefixes, or import your existing ID scheme

  • AI Quality Scoring

    AI evaluates requirement clarity, testability, and completeness with actionable suggestions

FMEA analysis interface
Risk Analysis

FMEA & Risk Analysis

Three levels of FMEA: Simple worksheets, Advanced DFMEA/PFMEA, and the full AIAG-VDA 7-Step guided wizard. Built-in, not an add-on.

  • AIAG-VDA 7-Step Wizard

    Guided workflow: Planning, Structure, Function, Failure, Risk, Optimization, Documentation

  • Structure Tree & P-Diagrams

    Visual hierarchy of system components with noise factor analysis for DFMEA

  • Control Plan Generation

    Auto-generate control plans from PFMEA. RPN trending, risk heatmaps, and action tracking.

  • FMEA Knowledge Bank

    Reusable library of failure modes, causes, and controls across projects

Only in NirmIQ

Code Intelligence

The missing link between your code and your requirements. Scan repositories, generate requirements from code, generate FMEA failure modes, and detect when code drifts from what was planned.

  • Scan → Analyze → Generate

    Connect a Git repo. Get requirements and FMEA items generated automatically from your codebase.

  • Code Drift Detection

    Know instantly when your implementation diverges from your requirements.

  • Multi-Language Support

    Works with any codebase. Python, C/C++, Java, JavaScript, and more.

Verification

Test Case Management

Close the traceability loop. Create test cases linked to requirements and FMEA failure modes. Track execution status and coverage gaps in real time.

  • Requirement-to-Test Linking

    Every test case traces back to a requirement. Know exactly what’s tested and what’s not.

  • FMEA-to-Test Coverage

    Link test cases to FMEA failure modes. Prove that every identified risk has a detection method.

  • Execution Tracking

    Track pass/fail status, record results, and generate coverage reports for audits.
