Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the part of the requirements specification process which is located between the textual requirements definition and the semi-formal diagrams of the requirements specification. It concerns the acquisition and the refinement of requirements and the consensus improvement between the analyst and the user. We argue that the existence of a textual description of requirements that represents the analyst's understanding of the problem will improve the efficiency of the requirements validation by the user. A method and a tool are introduced that support the acquisition, refining, and modeling of requirements, and finally the automatic generation of a textual description of the model for the validation.
