Abstract

One of the more important issues in the development of larger scale complex systems (product development period of two or more years) is accommodating changes to requirements. Requirements gathered for larger scale systems evolve during lengthy development periods due to changes in software and business environments, new user needs and technological advancements. Agile methods, which focus on accommodating change even late in the development lifecycle, can be adopted for the development of larger scale systems. However, as currently applied, these practices are not always suitable for the development of such systems. We propose a soft-structured framework combining the principles of agile and conventional software development that addresses the issue of rapidly changing requirements for larger scale systems. The framework consists of two parts: (1) a soft-structured requirements gathering approach that reflects the agile philosophy i.e., the Agile Requirements Generation Model and (2) a tailored development process that can be applied to either small or larger scale systems.

面向大规模系统开发的软结构敏捷框架

在大型复杂系统(产品开发周期为两年或两年以上)的开发中，更重要的问题之一是适应需求的变化。由于软件和业务环境的变化、新的用户需求和技术进步，在漫长的开发期间，为更大规模的系统收集的需求会发生变化。敏捷方法专注于适应甚至在开发生命周期后期的变更，可以用于更大规模系统的开发。然而，就目前的应用而言，这些实践并不总是适合于开发这样的系统。我们提出了一个结合敏捷和传统软件开发原则的软结构框架，以解决大规模系统快速变化的需求问题。该框架由两部分组成:(1)反映敏捷哲学的软结构需求收集方法，即敏捷需求生成模型(agile requirements Generation Model);(2)可应用于小型或大型系统的定制开发过程。
