Abstract
Developing a suitable Requirements Engineering (RE) process for a given project is a challenge faced by many practitioners. In this paper, we propose a novel multi-tier structure for a web-based Requirements Engineering Process dEvelopment AssistanT (REPEAT). This tool is designed to help requirements engineers develop a suitable RE process for a given project. The tool is an implementation of the RE process development methodology developed in our research. The novelty of this tool is three-fold. First, the tool uses interactive web technology to provide more accessibility for requirements engineers and to support the collaborative nature of RE process development. Second, REPEAT uses a novel multi-tier structure for enhanced design and maintainability. Third, the tool provides direct links between an RE process and the characteristics of a given project.
