A contextual approach for the requirements engineering process
نویسنده
چکیده
Requirements specification methods and techniques have hitherto mainly been concerned with promoting various representation formalisms for formally describing information systems. However the emphasis on system modelling is shifting to process modelling. Our concern is the modelling of the Requirements Engineering (RE) process. The particular RE process modelling approach presented in the paper emphasises the notion of RE decision within the context in which it is taken. The context of decision is defined as a means to proceed locally as well as globally in the RE process. The paper concentrates on the presentation of the contextual approach and its illustration through examples extracted from the case studies developed in the Esprit project F3 where this approach is defined and experienced in user companies projects.

Application of triangulation approach in requirements engineering process: A study in analysis and design of the pediatrics epilepsy information system
Introduction: Requirements Engineering process is a crucial phase in software development. In order to achieve a successful design of health information systems (HISs), applying the best methodologies is essential. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to design pediatrics Epilepsy Information System (EPIS) as well as the use of triangulation approach in elicitation and validation of epil...

System engineering is one of the most powerful tools for comprehensive project management and control. This tool emphasized the life cycle of the projects, manages every single activity and helps manage the main elements of the project through a set of management and engineering processes. The goal of the current study is to use a system engineering approach in design phase in order or to meet ...
متن کاملElicitation Strategies for Web Application Using Activity Theory
Requirements engineering (RE) is often seen as an essential facet in software development. It is a vital process before each project starts. In the context of systems engineering, an understanding and application of systems theory and practice is also relevant to RE. The contexts in which RE takes place habitually involve human activities. Therefore, RE needs to be sensitive to how people perce...

متن کاملRequirements Engineering with Contextual Design and RUP
Models from methods like Contextual Design (CD) are a sound basis for requirements engineering. But current software engineering processes are not prepared to use such models. Together with tight schedule and budget project teams settle for the minimal work needed, which is writing use cases in case of the Rational Unified Process (RUP). HCI practitioners more and more need HCI methods effectiv...
