Introduction

This tutorial is designed to provide an understanding of how to effectively apply RQCODE to structure security requirements in an object-oriented way and translate them into programming code. The following aspects are covered:

1. Prerequisites for setting up the RQCODE environment
2. The value of processing security requirements with RQCODE
3. RQCODE concepts
4. The example of Password Policy Requirements
5. Explanation of output status
6. Describing the requirements through programming code
7. Verifying the requirements in code
8. Maintaining security requirements through RQCODE

Value of Processing Security Requirements with RQCODE:

• Consistency: RQCODE ensures uniform enforcement of security requirements throughout the entire application, thereby mitigating discrepancies and reducing vulnerabilities.
• Systematic Verification: RQCODE facilitates a systematic approach to the verification and analysis of security requirements, enhancing the ability to identify and rectify potential issues efficiently.
• Reusability: RQCODE promotes the reuse of security requirement templates across different applications, streamlining the process of defining and implementing policies, and conserving time and resources.
• Maintenance: Using RQCODE simplifies the maintenance of security requirements by providing a structured, modular approach that makes updates and modifications easier to manage.

Prerequisites for Running RQCODE

To set up the environment for running RQCODE, the following steps are required:

1. Java Development Kit (JDK):
   • Ensure that the Java Development Kit (JDK) version 8 or higher is installed. The JDK can be downloaded from the Oracle website. Verification of the installation can be performed by executing java -version in the command line interface.
2. Integrated Development Environment (IDE):
   • It is recommended to use IntelliJ IDEA for development. The Community Edition of IntelliJ IDEA can be downloaded from JetBrains. Alternative IDEs such as Eclipse, NetBeans, or Visual Studio Code with Java extensions are also suitable.
3. Project Cloning:

   • The RQCODE project can be obtained by cloning the GitHub repository. This can be done by executing the following command in the Terminal:

     git clone <https://github.com/VeriDevOps/RQCODE.git>
