Applying a Video-based Requirements Engineering Technique to an Airport Scenario

Abstract

In the development of software-intensive systems, the interaction between customer and supplier is usually text-based. We argue that with agile project management gaining momentum, the inclusion of end-user feedback and a better mutual understanding between customer and supplier on hardware and software design goals becomes increasingly important. We propose the use of video techniques, video-based requirements engineering (VBRE), to support the communication between all stakeholders. The key ingredients of VBRE are user-centric videos and an exploratory environment for creating multi-path scenarios. In this workshop session, the participants will get hands-on experience with VBRE techniques and tools while working on a fictitious airport baggage handling system.
