Evaluating A Novel Agile Requirements Engineering Method: A Case Study
Tanel Tenso, Alex Norta, Irina P. Vorontsova · 2016
The use of agile methods during software development is a standard practice and user stories are an established way of breaking complex system requirements into smaller subsets. However, user stories do not suffice for understanding the bigger picture of system goals. While methods exists that try to solve this problem, they lack visual tool support and are too heavy for smaller projects. This article fills the gap by evaluating a novel agile agent-oriented modelling (AAOM) method for requirements engineering. The AAOM-method comprises a visual approach to agile requirements engineering that links goal-model creation techniques taken from agentoriented modelling and connects goals intuitively to user stories. A case study based evaluation explores the applicability of AAOM for requirements engineering in an agile software development process.
