Abstract

Computer aided requirements definition methods and an environment are presented. We have proposed a requirements model, named Requirements Frame, and requirements languages based on the model. We have developed several supporting methods of software requirements definition on the basis of the model. They are (1) analysis of requirements, (2) describing requirements, (3) verification of SRS (Software Requirements Specification), (4) SRS execution, (5) software preliminary design. With these methods, a requirements definer can get an SRS of good quality. The good quality means that correctness, testability, traceability, feasibility, and usability. We have been developing an environment of requirements definition, named CARD by realizing these methods. The CARD supports two kinds of requirements languages, that is, textual language and visual language. The CARD includes (1) SRS analyzer, (2) SRS verifier, (3) SRS retriever, (4) SRS executor, and (5) software design assistant.
