Modeling and Analyzing Information Quality Requirements of Socio-technical Systems: Experience Report

Information Quality (IQ) is particularly important for the efficient performance of any system. Despite this, most of the Requirements Engineering (RE) frameworks either ignore IQ needs, or they deal with them as mere technical issues, i.e., they do not consider the social and organizational aspects that underlie such needs. This paper summarizes the experience of the authors in modeling and analyzing IQ requirements for socio-technical systems. In particular, it summarizes the authors effort to propose an integrated RE framework that provides concepts for modeling and reasoning about IQ requirements since the early phases of the socio-technical system development.
