Bericht des Arbeitskreise Requirements Engineering Patterns (WGREP)

The special interest group on requirements engineering of the German Informatics Society has established a working group on “Requirements Engineering Patterns” (WGREP). The objective of the group was to investigate the applicability of the concept of patterns for collecting and exchanging requirements engineering (RE) experience with special emphasis on project teams which are in the process of adopting RE. The group consisted of ten members from academia and different industries. This article presents a brief overview of the work and the results of the working group. A full account can be obtained from WGREP’s final report [1], and the identified RE patterns are also accessible through an online pattern repository [2].
