Abstract

Requirement quality serves as the basis of the whole software development.How to improve and assure the quality of requirements is one of themost difficult issues. Aiming to improve requirement review in a softwarecompany, we propose a role-based requirement review process based on theidea that requirement quality should meet needs of all roles involved to thelargest extent, and not only determined by the number of defects found in requirements.This process helps reviewers focus on their own concerns and findmore defects related to their tasks, and provides a quantitative method to analyzeand evaluate the quality of the requirement document. We also provide acase study to illustrate the new process and report some preliminary results.
