S. Vinay, Shridhar Aithal, Prashanth Desai · 2009
requirements gathering to facilitate automation has only limited explorations so far. This paper describes a Natural Language based tool which aims at supporting the analysis stage of software development in an object oriented framework. This paper is built on the foundation of existing mappings between natural language elements and Object oriented concepts. The tool named R-TOOL analyses software elicited requirements texts written in English to generate actors, use cases, classes, attributes, methods and relationship between the classes leading to the generation of class diagrams. This paper discusses initial experimental results which are encouraging and outlines further research plan to help to improve the system which will have the potential to play an important role in the software development process.
