Abstraction-based requirements management
Leah Goldin, Anthony Finkelstein · 2006
One of the most difficult challenges in requirements engineering is understanding the information provided by the stakeholders so as to establish the requirements. Moreover, there is considerable frustration whenever a requirement change is initiated and we are unable to analyse the impact of this change despite (or perhaps because of) having piles of requirements documents. This paper outlines a method for Abstraction-based Requirements Management (AbstRM) that is useful for requirements impact analysis and other requirements management activities.The AbstRM method is exemplified in a worked case study and supported by an integration of AbstFinder and DOORS tools.
