A Requirements Maturity Measurement Approach Based on SKLSEWiki

Abstract

With the development of IT, the scale and complexity of information system has been dramatically increased. Followed is that the related stakeholders’ size increases sharply. How to promote the requirements negotiation of large scale stakeholders becomes a focus of attention. Wiki, as a lightweight documentation and distributed collaboration platform, has demonstrated its capability in distributed requirements elicitation and documentation. Most efforts are paid to construct friendly user interface and collaborative editing capabilities. In this paper, a new concept, requirement maturity, is proposed to represent the stable degree of requirement reached through the negotiation process. A Requirement Maturity Measurement Approach based on Wiki uses the requirement maturity as a threshold to select requirements. Thus, the requirements, which reach a stable status through full negotiation, can be found out. A platform SKLSEWiki is developed to validate the approach.
