A Similarity Measurement Framework for Requirements Engineering

Abstract

Researches show that a reasonable number of projects failed to achieve their desired goals. There could be many different reasons like managing requirements, excessive documentation of code, difficulty to deliver the software with all required functions on time etc. Through proper management of requirements and concept of reusability, an effort could be made to overcome such percentage of failure. This paper argues about requirement similarity measurements and a possible application to support design and code reusability. An outline of SimReq framework is a step towards this direction.
