REMM-Studio: an Integrated Model-Driven Environment for Requirements Specification, Validation and Formatting.
Cristina Vicente-Chicote, Begoña Morós, Ambrosio Toval · The Journal of Object Technology · 2007
In order to integrate requirements into the current Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) approach, the traditional document-based requirements specification process should be changed into a requirements modelling process.To achieve this we propose a requirements metamodel called REMM (Requirements Engineering MetaModel) which includes the elements that should appear in a requirements model (requirements, stakeholders, test cases, etc.) together with the relationships that may appear between them.This metamodel is the basis of the REMM-Studio environment which enables: (1) to build graphical requirements models, (2) to validate them against the metamodel and against a set of additional OCL constraints, and (3) to automatically generate a navigable Software Requirements Specification (SRS) document as the main deliverable of the Requirements Engineering process.REMM-Studio is expected to ease the integration of requirements with other development models (e.g.component models) and to facilitate the validation of the SRS thanks to its navigability.
