• Need of support tools for conformity assessment

• Set of requirements defined in previous work

• We present on-going work: a prototype

Conclusions

• Evaluate usability of the tool

• Increment tool functionality. Plan:

• Workgroups (R5, R6)

• Complexity management (R1, R2)

• Report generation and surveillance (R7, R8)

Future work
