Testing Requirements: "This paper presents a method for decomposing requirements into system behaviours which can be packaged for use in inspections, walkthroughs and requirements animations. Although not a formal method, it is suggested that by putting some formality into the packaging of requirements, the cost of formal inspections can be reduced, effective walkthroughs can be conducted and inexpensive animations of requirements can be developed."
