Beta-testing a requirements analysis tool
Andrew Brooks, Laura Krebs, Brandon Paulsen · ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes · 2014
Two requirements specifications were analyzed using three requirements analysis tools: a reconstruction of NASA's ARM tool, TIGER Pro 2.0, and a new tool. The new tool being beta-tested reported many more true positives than TIGER Pro 2.0, which in turn reported many more true positives than the ARM reconstruction. However, using its default settings, the new tool raised many false positives, which resulted in unacceptably low values for precision. Feedback has been provided to the company developing the new tool. Lessons learned about beta-testing and requirements analysis tools are described.
