Abstract

The inspection of early life-cycle artifacts such as requirements documents promises great benefits. However,research demonstrates that the inspection process is complex and expensive and that tool support would be highlydesirable. Existing inspection tools focus largely on theinspection of source code. We have therefore devisedgroupware support for inspecting requirements. Based onour experience with adopting a Group Support System(GSS) for requirements negotiation we decided to tailorthis commercial GSS to support inspection of requirements. This paper discusses our concept of a Groupware-supported Requirements Inspection Process (GRIP) andshows that tailoring a COTS GSS works well to automatethis process.
