Abstract

The author proposes a visual software requirements definition method including describing a visual software requirements specification (SRS) with a visual requirements language.The method proposed here provides a describer for defining both the shape and semantics of icons to specify the requirements just what he imagines. The method also provides for describing icons' movements as a scenario description. This scenario enables an execution of the SRS with animation. The describer can confirm his requirements by checking the animation. Furthermore, this paper describes a supporting method of visual software requirements definition by multiple developers via network system. A visual requirements language named VRDL and tools are illustrated with examples.
