Abstract

Agile software development is the most popular methodology used in today’s software engineering. Agility in software development does not mean the resignation to the accuracy and quality of meeting user requirements. However, it is apparent that the tasks of requirements engineering are taken lightly or often overlooked in agile projects due to project cost. One of the main reasons for this is the lack of efficient and easy to use modelling tools which can be used for the purposes of business modelling and initial software design. Therefore, there is a need for good modelling tools which can be easily used by both non-technical users and software developers which can fill the gap between business needs and identified software requirements. This paper presents BORM as a feasible solution for this in an agile software development environment.
