A Requirement Acquistion Method with Multi-dimensional Hearing and Hierarchical Accommodation Process

Abstract

The effective scenario acquisition method has been established by combining the chance discovery and the requirements engineering methods. The method consists of the multi-dimensional hearing and the hierarchical integration process. We evaluate its capability through the experiment using a prototype of home controller. The followings have been confirmed: requirement primitives which consist of these purpose, objects, methods, premises and restrictions are elicited by the multi-dimensional hearing; the primitives grow by intersections and chains and are formed into a scenario through the hierarchical integration process; the proposed method exceeded the conventional inspection test in the efficiency of eliciting primitives.
