Process Improvement in Requirements Management: A Method Engineering Approach

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

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

Abstract

Method Engineering and Requirements Engineering are two research fields that can benefit from another. To increase process maturity in systems development, we propose an approach for incremental method evolution that combines capability-based and problem-based methods. With this method, we can assemble new methods, based on the process need of an organization. We show how this approach can be implemented using Computer Aided Method Engineering (CAME) technology. In addition, we demonstrate the utility of the Product Software Knowledge Infrastructure by showing an example of the insertion of cost-value prioritization as a method increment in software product management. This shows how isolated innovations in the Requirements Engineering domain can be embedded in software development practices.
