Natural Language Requirements Analysis and Class Model Generation Using UCDA
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a methodology to automate natural language requirements analysis and class model generation based on the Rational Unified Process (RUP). Use-case language schemas are proposed to reduce complexity and vagueness of natural language. Some rules are identified and used to automate class model generation from use-case specifications. A CASE tool named Use-Case driven Development Assistant (UCDA) is implemented to support the methodology. UCDA can assist the developer to generate use-case diagrams, use-case specifications, robustness diagrams, collaboration diagrams and class diagrams in IBM Rational Rose. It helps accelerate requirements analysis and class modeling, and reduce the time to market in software development.

Textual Requirement Analysis for UML Diagram Extraction by using NLP
Requirement analysis is the preliminary step in software development process. The requirements stated by the clients are analyzed and an abstraction of it, is created which is termed as requirement model. The automatic generation of UML diagram from natural language requirements is highly challenging and demanding very efficient methodology. Unified Modeling Language (UML) models are helpful fo...
متن کاملA Controlled Natural Language Interface to Class Models
The available approaches for automatically generating class models from natural language (NL) software requirements specifications (SRS) exhibit less accuracy due to informal nature of NL such as English. In the automated class model generation, a higher accuracy can be achieved by overcoming the inherent syntactic ambiguities and semantic inconsistencies in English. In this paper, we propose a...
متن کاملTextual Requirement Analysis for Object Model Designing by Using NLP
Software development is a complex process and begins with requirement gathering. Requirements are specified in their natural forms and are required to be converted into formal specifications such as object diagram for further use in any software development process. These diagrams are useful for clearly understanding the problem definition of software and other documentation purpose. This paper...

Object-oriented analysis and design has now become a major approach in the design of software system. This paper presents a method to automate natural language requirements analysis for object identification and generation based on the Parsed Use Case Descriptions (PUCDs) for capturing the output of the parsing stage. We employ Use-Case Descriptions (UCDs) as input into the whole framework of i...
متن کاملTowards Software Requirements Extraction Using Natural Language Approach
In this paper, we present an automated support environment to reduce the time and efforts required to produce and maintain a reusable specification document. Our proposed model has two operation modes: the first one is the forward mode in which our model automatically converts English natural language requirements into UML class diagram models. While the second one is the backward mode in which...
