A METAMODELING APPROACH FOR REQUIREMENTS SPECIFICATION

摘要

There are many Requirements Engineering approaches and techniques that help to specify, analyze and validate requirements. However, they are neither widely accepted nor widely used by the industrial software community. One of the main problems faced when applying them is to what extent they can be easily adapted to the specific needs of the project. This has often led to unsatisfactory requirements management in industrial software development. In this work, a proposal for requirements modeling is presented that allows the integration of the' expressiveness of some of the more relevant Requirements Engineering techniques by taking advantage of metamodeling. This proposal focuses on scalability with respect to expressiveness and adaptability to the application domain to establish some basic guidelines and extension mechanisms that lend coherence and semantic precision. A case study and 4 tool support are presented to describe the application of this proposal in a real-life project.
