Abstract

Identification of crosscutting concerns at the requirements level is important for the modularization and evolution of requirements, and has attracted many research interests. This paper proposes a featureoriented approach to the identification of crosscutting requirements based on feature dependency analysis. In this approach, features are used as basic elements to organize the requirements space, and two kinds of dynamic dependencies (i.e. interactions and weavings) between features are analyzed to find out the candidate crosscutting requirements and their influence on other requirements. A case study is also used to illustrate the application of this approach.
