Claim One:
1. A method for validating software development requirements, the method comprising: accessing, by a validation computing device, a software development requirement; extracting, by the validation computing device, a plurality of tokens from the software development requirement; tagging, by the validation computing device, each of the plurality of tokens to a corresponding part of speech; deriving, by the validation computing device, a pattern based on the plurality of tokens and the plurality of corresponding parts of speech; determining, by the validation computing device, at least one of a context or a business domain of the software development requirement; identifying, by the validation computing device, pre-defined rules for the plurality of tokens and pre-defined patterns for the pattern from an intelligence repository based on at least one of the context or the business domain; in response to a positive identification, validating, by the validation computing device, the software development requirement by analyzing the plurality of tokens against the pre-defined rules and by analyzing the pattern against the pre-defined patterns; and in response to a negative identification, initiating, by the validation computing device, a learning process based on intelligence gathered from a manual validation of the software development requirement.
