Abstract

This work focuses on developing a requirement engineering model (RSPL) based on a Model Driven Architecture (MDA) and Web-tier Application Framework (WAF), to support automatic and interactive requirements generation when creating families of systems. In realizing the model, two goals were targeted namely (i) to construct a RE model that support automatic transformation of domain features into actor-specific requirements; and (ii) to design and implement an interactive web based tool for requirements engineering. The result obtained is twofold: (i) adopting MDA during RE for a product line reduced costs and development time; (ii) tool implementation based on WAF ensured that support for different client types was possible. In conclusion, the study is a contribution to a recently advocated idea that requirements generation could be model-driven. The result shows that the idea is promising with respect to requirement reuse and improving communication barriers among members of a system development team.
