Use Case Diagram Extraction Technique from Requirements Specification

ARSENAL: Automatic Requirements Specification Extraction from Natural Language

Natural language (supplemented with diagrams and some mathematical notations) is convenient for succinct communication of technical descriptions between the various stakeholders (e.g., customers, designers, implementers) involved in the design of software systems. However, natural language descriptions can be informal, incomplete, imprecise and ambiguous, and cannot be processed easily by desig...

Integrating RE Methods to Support Use Case Based Requirements Specification

From Requirements Specification to Design Specification

The aim of program development process is to construct a correct program with respect to its requirements specification. Our paper deals with the first step of this process in the framework of the theory of correct programming. We construct requirements specification institution in terms of algebraic specifications, design specification institution in terms of functional programming and type th...

Deriving Goals from a Use Case Based Requirements Specification for an Electronic Commerce System

Use cases and scenarios have emerged as prominent analysis tools during requirements engineering activities due to both their richness and informality. In some instances, for example when a projectÕs budget or schedule time is reduced on short notice, practitioners have been known to adopt a collection of use cases as a suitable substitute for a requirements specification. Given the challenges ...

From user requirements to UML class diagram

The transition from user requirements to UML diagrams is a difficult task for the designer especially when he handles large texts expressing these needs. Modeling class Diagram must be performed frequently, even during the development of a simple application. This paper proposes an approach to facilitate class diagram extraction from textual requirements using NLP techniques and domain ontology...
