Another Extensible Requirements Elicitation and Analysis Method
Po‐Hsun Cheng, Hsin-Ciang Chang, Fu-Han Chang · 2012
Software requirements analysis process has effective method to generate the analysis results are acceptable. However, such a process might ignore some requirements. Based on the Grounded Theory, this research proposed a feasible supplemented method, extensible requirements elicitation and analysis process (XREAP), by emerging lateral thinking. The thinking level of the XREAP will cover the entire requirements scope as possible as it could. To verify this theoretical method, an experimental tool is implemented and utilized some systems to metric the differences between traditional and XREAP methods by the use case points approach. The XREAP can analyze requirements at the first step of the software development process, provide dimensional thinking to enhance the requirements analysis process, let the afterward development process trust the outcome of the requirements analysis phase, promotes the work efficiency and software quality undoubtedly, and significantly improves existing solutions.
