Abstract

A software requirements specification (SRS) is a document at the first phase of software development. Since it is difficult to make an accurate SRS at the beginning of software development, we propose a supporting method to detect and interpret the inconsistency of SRS.First, we classify and define the inconsistency of SRS. Next, we describe how to detect and interpret the inconsistency of SRS. We use the Requirements Frame Model to detect the inconsistency of SRS. We apply the Dempster and Shafer's theory to interpret the inconsistency of SRS. We illustrate our method with an example.
