Abstract

This paper discusses the negotiation-collaboration process: a binomial process mixing collaboration, negotiation and argumentation. We applied the negotiation-collaboration process to Formal Technical Reviews, commonly adopted to verify the functional specification of software. We developed a groupware tool demonstrating the dynamic of the negotiation-collaboration process in Formal Technical Reviews. And we provide results from an experiment with the tool in a software engineering firm. The obtained results demonstrate the negotiation-collaboration process promotes bigger participation in FTR.
