Rutik Akolkar developed a comprehensive requirements baseline for the Bit Manipulation Library in the qorix-group/score repository, focusing on safety and future extensibility. He defined both functional and non-functional requirements, including support for various bitwise operations, type-safe bitmasking for enums, and robust bounds checking, all tailored for a header-only implementation aligned with ASIL B safety standards. Using RST for documentation and applying requirements engineering best practices, Rutik produced a clear blueprint to guide subsequent development, testing, and validation. The work established a solid technical foundation, ensuring that future code changes would meet strict safety and reliability criteria from the outset.
