Abstract

The success of a software product depends on meeting the requirements and satisfying the needs of the users. The identification of these requirements and needs is the task of requirements engineering. This paper presents a method for the elicitation and documentation of requirements. The method uses collaborative technologies (a wiki system) and audio recordings to allow multiple stakeholders the joint elicitation and documentation of the requirements and their rationales in globally distributed software development settings. Semi-automated linking of the requirements documentation in the wiki with sections of audio recording of stakeholder interviews ensure the traceability of the requirements' rationales. In addition to the method, the concept of a supporting software tool is presented. This tool is yet to be developed. The results of an evaluation of the method show that the approach is promising. It enables the participation of all relevant stakeholders, supports a common understanding of the requirements and avoids misinterpretations and the dissemination of false information.

使用音频和协作技术进行分布式需求提取和文档

软件产品的成功取决于满足需求和满足用户的需求。识别这些需求和需求是需求工程的任务。本文提出了一种获取和记录需求的方法。该方法使用协作技术(wiki系统)和音频记录，以允许多个涉众在全球分布的软件开发设置中共同引出和记录需求及其基本原理。wiki中的需求文档与涉众访谈的音频记录部分的半自动链接确保了需求基本原理的可追溯性。除了该方法外，还提出了支持软件工具的概念。这个工具还有待开发。对该方法的评价结果表明，该方法是有前途的。它使所有相关利益相关者能够参与，支持对要求的共同理解，并避免误解和传播虚假信息。
