In my first column, I introduced the OPEN Process Framework (OPF), which provides an industry-standard terminology for organizing and communicating process engineering concepts. In it, I also introduced the reusable requirements engineering work products that are part of the OPF. This second article introduces the remaining reusable process components that are useful for requirements engineerin...

Objective:  Presents a business goal-driven requirements engineering approach for IT to better understand system requirements, as requirements are generated from the business goals and provide assistance for analyzing business goals quickly.

Requirements gathering and analysis is the most important phase of software development. If done properly it reduces future maintenance costs. It can also stop projects that are unlikely to succeed before costs have become excessive. Di erent software systems require di erent approaches to requirements engineering. A mature requirements process can be based on a generic requirements process fro...

Gender inclusion is fundamental to a prosperous society, but inequality and exclusion persist in various sectors of it. One them the ICT field, which still struggling represent diversity those it serves. The lack power imbalance software development affects produced systems, that, instead advancing gender inclusion, create new barriers achieving Although considered neutral, does not equally ser...

Requirements Engineering (RE) contains many different practices to elicit, communicate and document customer requirements. Developers need to understand these requirements properly in order to achieve project success by fulfilling them [1]. A prerequisite for developers’ understanding of relevant requirements and their meaning is successful requirements communication [2]. Therefore, the selecte...

Requirements engineering in the context of off-the-shelf component-based system development is a difficult issue. Most actual approaches are not requirements-driven, which does not allow to gain a great customer acceptance. Otherwise, they have difficulties getting a natural matching between customer requirements and component features, which does not facilitate the user involvement. The paper ...
