A Survey of the State-of-the-Field of Requirements Methodology.
Abstract
Based on a general awareness of the effects of inadequacies in requirements definition throughout the life cycle of a system, AIRMICS has initiated a comprehensive program for application of the latest methodologies in requirements analysis to the Army's information system development programs. This study is intended to provide a survey of the state-of-the-field of requirements methodology; that is, any of the component capabilities of requirements definition support such as methods, languages, and tools. The authors have endeavored, to the extent possible, to cite those organizations with relevant activities in requirements methodologies as developers, evaluators and users. The field is not mature and it is difficult to establish a set of desirable criteria for judging candidate methodologies. As an alternative, a small set of major factors is defined and used to determine the basic applicability of each candidate methodology to the AIRMICS program.
