A Case Study of Requirement Analysis and Refinement of Specifications by Iterative Development

Abstract

Software requirement analysis and specifications are hard to adapting not specific users, but general users. Agile methods are supposed to capture and modify more general requirements during iterative developments by team developments, such as Scrum. However, it is not sufficient for refinement to define all necessary functions and data resources in actual software developments. This research conducts a case study for designing mobile application systems by a hybrid method of Agile requirement analysis and Structured Object-Oriented Specification, and then clarifies the refined items and phases by iterations. The result shows that discoveries and modifications of requirements are later than expected iterative phases in the case study.
