Intent Specifications: An Approach to Building Human-Centered Specifications
نویسنده
چکیده
ÐThis paper examines and proposes an approach to writing software specifications, based on research in systems theory, cognitive psychology, and human-machine interaction. The goal is to provide specifications that support human problem solving and the tasks that humans must perform in software development and evolution. A type of specification, called intent specifications, is constructed upon this underlying foundation. Index TermsÐRequirements, requirements specification, safety-critical software, software evolution, human-centered specifications, means-ends hierarchy, cognitive engineering.

متن کاملAn Intent Specifications Model for a Robotic Software Control System
Intent specifications are a new way to structure specifications to support human problem solving, system and software development and evolution, traceability, and specification of design rationale. An intent specification provides a hierarchical abstraction based on intent ("why") in addition to the usual "what" and "how." For a given system being specified, an intent specification defines seve...

This paper presents a lightweight Intrusion Detection System to prote...
متن کاملInferring Programmer Intent and Related Errors from Software
Software is difficult to write and maintain. Much of the challenge in developing a program lies in specifying it—understanding precisely what it should be doing. Both human-oriented tasks (like fixing a bug) and automated tasks (like mechanical verification) require knowledge of a program’s intended behavior. For the vast majority of software projects, though, complete and well-documented speci...
