REFSQ 2015 encouraged researchers and practitioners from the research fields covered by the conference to submit posters. The poster track at REFSQ15 is intended to provide a forum for presenting recent work and obtaining early feedback on ongoing research. All submissions were reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. In the end, five posters were accepted for display, addre...

Background: Determining quality requirements and quality dimensions is one of the most reliable ways of providing high quality services. The objective of the present study was to investigate the association between quality requirements and quality dimensions according to the points of view of physicians, nurses, and patients. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was carried out in h...

Software requirements engineering produces several different artifacts. In order to cope with all requirements contained in these artifacts, they must be kept in a single place. Today, usually this place is a document or a simple list of requirement statements. A modelling infrastructure for the integration of requirements in models is a new way of keeping and managing requirements in a model-c...

Requirements elicitation is a critical phase in information systems development (ISD), having significant impacts on software quality and costs. Prior research suggests that it is a collaborative activity, where system requirements-related knowledge is extensively shared between users and analysts. This knowledge sharing can get extremely tenuous given the different knowledge perspectives of th...

Software requirements engineering is an essential activity for the successful development of information systems. The outcome of this activity is not always successful, which is visible in the lack of software quality, costs and schedules overruns. Although the efforts made and the initiatives proposed, there is not a widely accepted practice or standard in this area, comparable to what we have...

It is well known that requirements engineering plays a critical role in software quality. The use case approach is a requirements elicitation technique commonly used in industrial applications. Software requirements are stated as a collection of use cases, each of which is written in the user’s perspective and describes a specific flow of events in the system. The use case approach offers sever...

Over the years, research on software architecture has identified architectural styles. In this paper we consider five of such styles, and analyze whether these styles can also be found in business value models for networked enterprises. To this end, we analyze 17 evalue models, as discussed in 29 academic papers or book chapters. We also consider whether the quality attributes related to the so...

Many managers and others who are not professional requirements engineers tend to greatly oversimplify requirements engineering (RE). Based on their observations that requirements specifications primarily contain narrative English textual statements of individual requirements and that all members of the engineering team are reasonably literate, there is a common myth that practically anyone with...
