Applying Visualisation to Validating Software System Requirements

摘要

This paper describes the application of visualisation to the validation of software system requirements. It enhances the popular validation technique of prototyping because the execution of prototypes offer minimalistic or rudimentary presentation styles with little or no regard to customer comprehension.. Visualisation enables the results generated by prototype execution to be presented using a rich repertoire of representations and more importantly, using imagery that is borrowed directly from the customer's own domain. This paper presents some of the pertinent issues in applying visualisation to this area, and describes the results of our efforts in developing an approach that visualises prototype execution behaviour.
