Abstract

Several requirements visualization techniques have been developed together with tools that support the techniques. This paper focuses on visualization techniques developed for requirements representation. These techniques are used to transform the written and verbal requirements into visual representations. Most of the existing techniques use graphics for visual representation. This paper reviews three requirements graphical visualization techniques; which are the 3D visualization technique, UML models, and behavioural requirements specification approach. These three are later compared using four selected attributes which are ease of use, validation support, comprehensiveness, and ease of conversion to implementation codes.
