The quality of a requirements specification has a great impact on the quality of the software developed. Because of this, a requirements specification should be complete, correct, consistent, and unambiguous. Otherwise, defects may remain undetected, resulting in the delivery of a faulty software product to the users. Motivated by this, Basili et al. have developed the perspective-based reading (PBR) technique to help identify defects in requirements specifications. In this paper we propose a problem-driven approach for supporting the PBR technique. We also discuss the experience of applying our proposal to a real-life requirements specification.
