Ravenflow's RAVEN is an award-winning business requirements definition software that enables business analysts and other team members to construct and validate process and/or use-case specifications visually and diagrammatically using plain english.

Raven is a unique business analysis tool suited for use on both enterprise process improvement and application development projects. Using Raven, business analysts and other team members can rapidly visualize and validate requirements, build team consensus, and produce clear specifications of their business process workflows, business use cases, and business application needs.

Based upon patented language processing technology, RAVEN allows business people to describe their needs in plain English, then automatically generate visual process and use case diagrams.  Raven’s unique strength is its ability to parse a functional statement (or use-case step), identify its components, validate the statement and dynamically draw a diagram based on it.

A business analyst quickly learns how to write correct and unambiguous workflows or use cases as Raven identifies logic and syntactical errors and automatically produces a visual model alongside the textual specification.

Raven has connectors to many of the popular requirements management, modeling and testing tools, including IBM's RequisitePro, Rational Requirements Composer, DOORS, Microsoft's VSTS, and HP Quality Center. RAVEN has both a standalone version (Raven Professional) or as a Microsoft Word add-in (Raven Express).
