DesignExpert

Abstract

Many failures of software systems may be traced to inadequate consideration of system-wide requirements such as system security, reliability, and usability. None the less, commercially available computer-aided software engineering tools do not provide any special assistance for satisfying them, instead concentrating on a system's functionality. This report presents DesignExpert, a knowledge-based tool intended to aid system developers and other stakeholders to effectively address system-wide requirements. The tool elicits requirements, analyzes needs, generates design alternative, and suggest evaluation strategies.
