A Process Model for Requirements Elicitation
Deborah Richards · 2000
Despite improvements in various activities making up the software development process, the elicitation, analysis and modelling of user requirements remain as one of the least explored and have the least satisfactory scientific foundations. The approach to be explored takes lowlevel requirements, which can be expressed in crosstable format, and uses Formal Concept Analysis to automatically generate a concept lattice. A process model is proposed which uses the lattice to assist in the identification, negotiation and reconciliation of requirements with RE practitioners and stakeholders. The early detection and correction of errors offers the greatest potential for avoiding cost overruns in the development of information systems.
