Abstract

A software process improvement programme is under way at a Spanish financial institution. A structured methodology, supported by formal and informal techniques and tools, is being established by a methodological support group, as a starting point for the improvement. This paper centres particularly on the methodological and automated management of software requirements analysis. This process was previously performed in a not formal manner, and the most direct consequence was the high costs in maintenance. The methodology developed includes actions to obtain, refine and validate the software requirements. It also includes an organisational Software Requirements Specification (SRS) standard, implemented on a commercial tool which was selected as a result of a formal evaluation process. Additionally, a procedure was defined for working with the SRS and the tool. The results of this practical experience show an improvement in SRS quality, and work is no longer duplicated, since more correct and complete specifications are obtained.

创建一个自动化的管理软件需求环境:一个实践经验

西班牙一家金融机构正在实施软件流程改进方案。一个方法学支助小组正在建立一种由正式和非正式技术和工具支持的结构化方法学，作为改进的起点。本文特别关注软件需求分析的方法和自动化管理。这个过程以前是以一种不正式的方式执行的，最直接的后果是维护成本高。开发的方法包括获取、细化和验证软件需求的操作。它还包括一个组织软件需求规范(SRS)标准，在一个商业工具上实现，该工具是作为正式评估过程的结果而选择的。此外，还定义了使用SRS和工具的过程。这一实践经验的结果表明，SRS质量有所提高，工作不再重复，因为获得了更正确和完整的规范。
