Chagas Disease is classified as a life-threatening disease by the World Health Organization (WHO) and is currently causing death to 534,000 people every year. In order to advance with the disease control, the WHO presented a strategy that included the development of the Chagas Information Database (CID) for surveillance to raise awareness about Chagas. CID is defined as a decision support syste...

Introduction Without realizing it, we have various rules-ofthumb (ROT) metrics we use every day. The problem is – what do they actually mean? Are they useful to you? Every day when you get up, you encounter one with your daily vitamin, representing the MDR – minimum daily requirements. Dave Barry sheds light on the validity of these metrics by naming vitamins as “little pills named A, B, C, D, ...

The guidelines for Requirements Management have been documented many times formally but the actual problems faced by the software industry are quite different. Through research it is found that most of the software projects fail before they are completed or if they do reach completion their quality is not up to the mark. The aim of this Research study is to identify the loopholes in the require...

Some systems failures are due to defects in manufacturing and design, however that there are a significant number of system failures which result from errors, omissions and inconsistencies in the system requirements. We thus need methods to support a ‘safe’ requirements engineering process whose objectives are to specify system requirements such that system states which compromise safety are av...

Requirements elicitation is widely regarded as the most challenging activity within the scope of requirements engineering. The activity concerns the understanding of problems that a system should address, which later leads to the identification of system requirements. As an abstract process, its effectiveness is greatly influenced by the credibility and suitability of the stakeholders involved....
