Perspective Based Reading Technique for Software

Perspective Based Reading (PBR) provides Engineers with concise statements directing their review of documents related to a project. While research shows the benefit of using techniques such as PROPER,Little effort has been directed to the application of PBR during Requirements Elicitation. This paper discusses the benefit of bringing these same techniques to the beginning of projects where they can be of most use to a project team and a company as a whole. Our goal is to provide a key set of perspectives for companies to use to determine if a requirement is appropriate for a project, is part of the company's core business, and if the requirement adds value for the customer.One important idea of PBR is that the defects are detected by utilizing the artifact in a way that it will be used in subsequent phases(for instance testing or designing). It is believed that this way are found earlier than they otherwise would be found. Furthermore duplicate work is avoided, since the subsequent work can partly be carried out during there view.
