A CONCEPTUAL MODEL FOR REQUIREMENTS ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT FOR CHANGE-INTENSIVE SOFTWARE

摘要

In the development of software with evolving requirements, activities of requirements-engineering and management are present through the whole software development process and affect most of the actors involved. This paper presents a conceptual model which aims to an efficient requirements management by offering a central data structure for requirements that integrates requirements, design and implementation workflow. This conceptual model was developed for change-intensive embedded systems, but can be easily adapted to other domains. This paper presents the model itself, techniques to adapt this model to specific needs, and demonstrates its usage.
