.SH NAME
rmtoo-analytics-hotspot \- requirements management tool: analytics
module for detecting hotspots
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.B rmtoo
analytics module \fIhotspots\fR uses a heuristic to check whether a
requirement is a HotSpot or not.  A HotSpot is a requirement with many
incoming or outgoing edges.
.SH IDEA
It was discovered that often in a set of requirements there are some
requirements 
where a lot of other requirements depend on - or which depend on a
large number of other requirements.
.P
These so called HotSpots typically hint to a region in the
requirements dependency graph where redesign must be done and some
work must be spend.
.P
The current implementation is based on the idea that each requirement
is a problem which must be solved by a 'Devide et Impera'.  It doesn't
make sense to divide in tens of sub-problems.  It is mostly better to
go for only some major and then divide them further down.
.SH CONFIGURATION
This module cannot be configured.
