The maintenance and software evolution demands a high cost to the organizations. One of the reasons for this high cost is the lack of documentation. The requirements represent an important way of documenting the software. Very commonly the requirements are not updated after the end of the software development project. The requirements are not updated during the maintenance phase. The purpose of this research is to propose a solution to the problem of keeping the software application requirements up to date and consistent during the software maintenance process. The solution is represented by a requirements management model that supports the updating and consistency of the requirements during the maintenance. This model is formed by a Conceptual Model, that represents the concepts involved in the problem and how they are related to each other in order that it is possible to reach the purpose, consistency rules, and a process to track the versions of the requirements. The results are presented through examples, illustrating various possible scenarios, using the prototype developed based on the proposed model. The main contribution of this research is a model that helps to maintain the software requirements up to date and consistent along the maintenance process, besides to help on the impact analysis of change requests.
