Towards Simulation-Based Quality Requirements Elicitation: A Position Paper

  • Conference paper
Requirements Engineering: Foundation for Software Quality (REFSQ 2008)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNPSE,volume 5025))

Abstract

The future users of a system under development are not necessarily good at talking about the quality they require of that system if they cannot yet experience it. We therefore propose to support them by a simulation of the system under development thus allowing them to experience and validate system quality. Requirements are supposed to be expressed in a user-centered glossary-based semantic model.
