Requirements elicitation is the process of acquiring system requirements from system stakeholders. The quality of this process is critical to make information technology (IT) projects a success.
When a company runs many elicitation processes over time, it is often the case that a significant proportion of requirements is recurrent and belongs to a relatively small number of categories, especially in the case of Non-Functional and Non-Technical requirements. Capitalizing on knowledge acquired in previous projects seems in this way an adequate strategy to improve the quality of requirements, and then increase the changes of project success; as well as to increase the efficiency of the requirements elicitation process. Our PABRE framework proposes an application of the concept of software requirement pattern as a means to capture and capitalize requirements knowledge in the context of IT systems and services procurement projects.
Currently our framework includes:
·
A metamodel that describes the
structure of patterns and the catalogue.
·
A method for the process of use
of the catalogue in the requirements engineering stage.
·
Two tools (see below) helping in the use,
management and evolution of the catalogue.
·
A software requirement patterns (SRP) catalogue with 29
Non-Functional SRP and 37 Non-Technical SRP. These two catalogues are
generic and apply to every kind of software domain (although of course every
domain may have in addition some particular NF-reqs and NT-reqs). We are also interested in the construction of Functional SRP for several domains as for instance: Content Management Systems (CMS) or Cloud Computing and specifically in Software as a Service (SaaS).
We have defined several collaboration scenarios, but we are open to other collaboration ideas. If you are interested just contact us.
