• The aim of this thesis is to perform a case study to investigate the usability of SysMD in industrial applications. The focus is on how well it can bridge the gap between requirement specifications, modeling, and actual development. SysMD is a new documentation and modeling language which aims to bring documentation and modeling closer together while still not requiring the user to be an expert in modeling or requirement specification. This differentiates SysMD from other tools which focus on either documentation, modeling, or are aimed at modeling experts. This thesis will show through the case study part that SysMD as a language has a good future with potential of being used as a language bridging the gap between requirements, documentation, and modeling without the user needing to be an expert within modeling. It will also show that SysMD Notebook in its current state is not ready for primetime, and I give recommendations on how to improve both the SysMD language as well as the SysMD Notebook to make it usable for industrial projects in the future.
