Application of Natural Language Processing in Object Oriented Software Development

Abstract

Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) starts with eliciting requirement of user as a document called Software Requirement Specification (SRS). SRS document is mostly written in the form of any natural language (NL) that is convenient for the client. In order to develop a right software based on user's requirements, the objects, methods and attributes needs to be identified from SRS document. In this paper, an attempt is made to develop a methodology, using the concept of Natural Language Processing (NLP) for Object Oriented (OO) Programming System analysis concept, by finding out the class name and its details directly form SRS.
