Systems and methods are provided for the automated development and implementation of software using parameter-based requirements. Such systems and methods may include acquiring terms usable to create a parameter-based requirement, in which each of the terms contains at least one attribute, and storing a glossary containing the terms. The systems and methods may further include collecting a system requirement from a user based on the terms stored in the glossary, generating the parameter-based requirement based on the terms stored in the glossary and the system requirement, and creating an artifact based on the parameter-based requirement.
