Abstract
I believe that the software design documents are one of the most important infrastructure of the software developments process. Because the software design documents ensure the communications between the members of software development team. So I develop the elaboration method to make the design documents not to be misunderstood.
In this paper I will propose the model based elaboration method for the software design documents ( MESOD). I construct the elaboration model based on “Characteristics of a good Software Requirements Specifications(SRS) of IEEEStd830-1993”, in order not to fall out the important elaboration check items. And I formulate the elaboration procedure for MESOD can provide abilities of execution, detection of defects and efficiency. To confirm the abilities of execution, detection of defects and efficiency of MESOD, I practice the elaboration examination. 3 students elaborate 5 requirements specifications documents. From these experiments, I can affirm that MESOD has abilities of execution, detection of defects and efficiency.
