Abstract

In software engineering, there must be clarity in communication among interested parties to elicit the requirements aimed at software development through frameworks to achieve the behaviors expected by the software. Problem: A lack of clarity in the requirement-elicitation stage can impact subsequent stages of software development. Solution: We proposed a case study focusing on the performance efficiency characteristic expressed in the ISO/IEC/IEEE 25010 standard using Behavior-Driven Development (BDD). Method: The case study was performed with professionals who use BDD to elicit the non-functional requirements of a company that develops software. Summary of Results: The result obtained was the validation related to the elicitation of non-functional requirements aimed at the performance efficiency characteristic of the ISO/IEC/IEEE 25010 Standard using the BDD framework through a real case study in a software development company. Contributions and impact: The article’s main contribution is to demonstrate the effectiveness of using BDD to elicit non-functional requirements about the performance efficiency characteristic of the ISO/IEC/IEEE 25010 standard.

针对非功能性需求使用行为驱动开发（BDD）

在软件工程中，相关各方之间的沟通必须清晰明了，以便通过框架引出旨在实现软件预期行为的软件开发需求。问题：在需求征集阶段缺乏清晰度会影响软件开发的后续阶段。解决方案：我们利用行为驱动开发（BDD）技术，针对 ISO/IEC/IEEE 25010 标准中表述的性能效率特性，提出了一项案例研究。方法：案例研究的对象是使用 BDD 为一家软件开发公司征集非功能性需求的专业人员。结果概述：结果：通过对一家软件开发公司的实际案例研究，验证了使用 BDD 框架针对 ISO/IEC/IEEE 25010 标准的性能效率特征征集非功能性需求的有效性。贡献和影响：文章的主要贡献在于证明了使用 BDD 激发有关 ISO/IEC/IEEE 25010 标准性能效率特征的非功能性需求的有效性。
