The Papyrus Tool as an Eclipse UML2-modeling Environment for Requirements

Abstract

Crediting requirements in a modeling process is a complex activity. Combining modeling and requirement processes is essential since the correctness of the resulting system is determined with respect to the initial requirements. Based on a dedicated metamodel for managing requirements throughout the modeling process, we have now adapted a UML2 modeling tool for use with such requirement models. This tool has been evaluated by implementing it in an industrial case study. Keywords: UML2 requirement modeling, requirement traceability, requirement verification, changes management.
