A Proposed Method in Agile Practices to Create Requirements Documentation and Test Cases

Two problems are common in agile based software development approaches. First, software requirements change frequently and therefore they are difficult to maintain and document. Second, test case development takes time and effort and thus the testing process is often delayed. To provide solution to these problems, we suggest using Action-Triad method for capturing the software application requirements. This method can be used to create conceptual models that can be used as documentation in agile development. The method can also create requirements traceability matrix (RTM) and test cases. When the requirements change, the conceptual models, RTM, and test cases can be regenerated. The method is demonstrated here using a case study.
