WIRTSCHAFTSINFORMATIK

Kernpunkte

DisIRE steht für Distributed Internet-Based Requirements Engineering und ist eine werkzeuggestu gestützte Methode zum verteilten, internetbasierten Requirements-Engineering. In diesem Artikel werden die Grundlagen, die Konzeption und Validierung sowie die Überführung in ein marktreifes Produkt vorgestellt.

  • DisIRE unterstützt alle Phasen des Requirements-Engineerings, d. h. Anforderungserhebung und-analyse, Anforderungsspezifikation und-validierung sowie Anforderungsmanagement.

  • Die Methode basiert auf theoretisch fundierten und empirisch validierten Ansätzen der kollaborativen Anforderungserhebung und der entscheidungsunterstützenden Anforderungsauswahl.

  • Die Werkzeugunterstützung von DisIRE wurde exemplarisch in die kollaborative Softwareentwicklungsplattform CodeBeamer der Firma Intland Software integriert.

Abstract

This article describes the design, the prototypical implementation and the productization of DisIRE, a method for spatially Distributed, Internet-Based Requirement Engineering. DisIRE builds on theoretically founded and empirically validated approaches of collaborative requirements elicitation and decision supported requirements selection. Thus, this method supports a continuous process, particularly suited for spatially distributed environments, in which requirements dependencies are explicitly taken into consideration. Hereby DisIRE enables software manufacturers to conduct systematically both distributed and concurrent requirements engineering with their customers.
