Abstract

The amount of data in large-scale software engineering contexts continues to grow and challenges efficiency of software engineering efforts. At the same time, information related to requirements plays a vital role in the success of software products and projects. To face the current challenges in software engineering information management, software companies need to reconsider the current models of information. In this paper, we present a modeling framework for requirements artifacts dedicated to a large-scale market-driven requirements engineering context. The underlying meta-model is grounded in a clear industrial need for improved flexible models for storing requirements engineering information. The presented framework is created in collaboration with industry and initially evaluated by industry practitioners from three large companies. Participants of the evaluation positively evaluated the presented modeling framework as well as pointed out directions for further research and improvements.
