Abstract

This paper reports a study in which business process modelling was regarded as a useful tool for requirements engineering. We have used business process models as a starting point to derive alternative sets of requirements for a process-oriented system. These alternative sets capture different decisions regarding the intended “level of automation” for the various activities in a business process. The approach is demonstrated in a case study which consists of the development of a real system to manage processes in a Human Resources (HR) Department of a large organization. We use a requirements specification that was previously obtained through what we characterize as a “conventional” requirements engineering technique and we compare it with the requirements specifications derived from the business process model. We discuss the impact of the use of business process models in the completeness, correctness, consistency and traceability of requirements in the case study.
基于业务流程模型的需求工程:一个案例研究
本文报告了一项研究,其中业务流程建模被视为需求工程的有用工具。我们已经使用业务流程模型作为起点,为面向流程的系统派生可选的需求集。这些可选集捕获有关业务流程中各种活动的预期“自动化级别”的不同决策。该方法在一个案例研究中进行了演示,该案例研究包括一个实际系统的开发,以管理大型组织的人力资源(HR)部门的流程。我们使用先前通过我们称之为“常规”需求工程技术获得的需求规范,并将其与源自业务流程模型的需求规范进行比较。我们讨论了在案例研究中使用业务流程模型对需求的完整性、正确性、一致性和可追溯性的影响。
