A Requirements-Driven Development Methodology
Jaelson B Castro, Manuel Kolp, John Mylopoulos · 2013
Information systems of the future will have to better match their operational organizational environment. Unfortunately, development methodologies have traditionally been inspired by programming concepts, not organizational ones, leading to a semantic gap between the system and its environment. To reduce as much as possible this gap, this paper proposes a development methodology named Tropos which is founded on concepts used to model early requirements. Our proposal adopts the i * organizational modeling framework [18], which offers the notions of actor , goal and (actor) dependency , and uses these as a foundation to model early and late requirements, architectural and detailed design. The paper outlines Tropos phases through an e-business example. The methodology seems to complement well proposals for agent-oriented programming platforms.
