Supporting Participatory Requirements Engineering in an ERP Software Community
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper presents a prototype1 aiming to widen user participation in requirement engineering for an open source ERP software company. The prototype utilizes a set of templates in a wiki system to allow community participation, and yet maintain necessary processes and models in the software development. The prototype informs developers about the ongoing work of others, in part to avoid conflicts. An XML-based infrastructure is being developed to improve interoperability with other tools such as discussion forums, issue tracking and documentation systems, to further utilize community efforts in software development.
