A \"not a problem\" defect report (NaP) describes a software behavior that a stakeholder regards as a problem while the developer believes this behavior is acceptable and chooses not to take any action. As a result, a NaP wastes the time of the development team because resources are spent analyzing the problem but the quality of the software is not improved. Performance requirements specification and analysis are instance-based. System performance can change based upon the execution environment or usage patterns. To understand how the availability and precision of performance requirements can affect NaP occurrence rate, we conducted a case study on an embedded control module. We applied the performance refinement and evolution model to examine the relationship between each factor in the performance requirements and the corresponding NaP occurrence rate. Our findings show that precise specification of subjects or workloads lowers the occurrence rate of NaPs. Precise specification of measures or environments does not lower the occurrence rate of NaPs. Finally, the availability of performance requirements does not affect NaP occurrence rate in this case study.","PeriodicalId":340621,"journal":{"name":"2008 16th IEEE International Requirements Engineering Conference","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133692864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scenario techniques are utilised during systems design, safety analysis and systems verification. Scenarios can be used to improve requirements quality and to ensure greater confidence in requirements coverage for both normal and exception behaviour. A study was undertaken to investigate whether the ART-SCENE process and tool could enable engineers to identify exception behaviours earlier in the system design process, thus reducing cost and improving quality. ART-SCENE provides automatic generation of scenarios and alternative course events through the Scenario Presenter. These recognition cues are used to prompt engineers to identify deviations that may otherwise be missed. This paper describes a comparative evaluation between ART-SCENE and a standard hazard identification technique to assess the effectiveness of this approach.","PeriodicalId":340621,"journal":{"name":"2008 16th IEEE International Requirements Engineering Conference","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115107612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Often, however, such a deployment must be interjected into a pre-existing context of ongoing activities, established designs and standard practices. That context can pose a number of obstacles, which if unaddressed can preclude success. Careful selection of what demonstration opportunities to pursue, and determination of how best to pursue them, are therefore crucial. A study was conducted to select and plan for deployment of prototypes of integrated system health management (ISHM) software on NASA spacecraft. The study itself utilized our seasoned technology maturation assessment process, based on a quantitative requirements analysis technique. However, this process is typically applied to scrutinize a single technology application at once. In this case there were a number of candidate deployment opportunities. Since it would have been tedious and time-consuming to consider each of them one-by-one, we adapted our assessment process to accommodate their simultaneous consideration. We relate our experience in doing this - the shortcuts we took, the similarities we exploited, and the workarounds we adopted to complete this study in a timely yet effective manner.","PeriodicalId":340621,"journal":{"name":"2008 16th IEEE International Requirements Engineering Conference","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129324211","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Effective knowledge management is needed to disseminate information on requirement changes across teams working on interdependent requirements to avoid mis-interpretations. Social networks are regarded as important in fostering knowledge management, where brokers or gatekeepers have the role of project members facilitating information flow. However, little is known about processes of information flow and brokerage in social networks built around interdependent requirements. In a field study of requirement interdependencies in a large IT manufacturing organization, we found that brokers holding pockets of knowledge have an impact on information flow in requirement-interdependent teams. We discuss a number of patterns of information flow and draw implications for processes of requirements change management.","PeriodicalId":340621,"journal":{"name":"2008 16th IEEE International Requirements Engineering Conference","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126950752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In practice this means that it is not possible to objectively determine if a projects SRS fails to reach a certain quality threshold. Therefore, a commonly agreed-on quality model is needed. Additionally, a large set of empirical data is needed to establish a correlation between project success and quality levels. As there is no such quality model, we had to define our own based on the goal-question-metric (GQM) method. Based on this we analyzed more than 40 software projects (student projects in undergraduate software engineering classes), in order to contribute to the empirical part. This paper contributes in three areas: Firstly, we outline our GQM plan and our set of metrics. They were derived from widespread literature, and hence could lead to a discussion of how to measure requirements quality. Practitioners and researchers can profit from our experience, when measuring the quality of their requirements. Secondly, we present our findings. We hope that others find these valuable when comparing them to their own results. Finally,we show that the results of our quality assessment correlate to project success. Thus, we give an empirical indication for the correlation of requirements engineering and project success.","PeriodicalId":340621,"journal":{"name":"2008 16th IEEE International Requirements Engineering Conference","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121729644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dependence on software is growing as spacecraft become more complex. With the increasing dependence on software comes the risk that bugs can lead to the loss of a mission. At NASApsilas Jet Propulsion Laboratory new tools are being developed to address this problem. Logic model checking and runtime verification can increase the confidence in a design or an implementation. A barrier to the application of such property-based checks is the difficulty in mastering the requirements notations that are currently available. For these techniques to be easily usable, a simple but expressive requirement specification method is essential. This paper describes a requirements capture notation and supporting tool that graphically captures formal requirements and converts them into automata that can be used in model checking and for runtime verification.","PeriodicalId":340621,"journal":{"name":"2008 16th IEEE International Requirements Engineering Conference","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131442460","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is especially so where the goals of many stakeholders conflict, and therefore cannot all be satisfied. Traditionally, weighting has been used to try to combine scores on different criteria, so as to identify a winning design. However, this has a weak mathematical basis: criteria should be independent dimensions, and may be measured in different units. The statistical technique of Principal Components Analysis offers a robust approach: given clear data, it gives clear guidance, of the form: \"if you prefer these criteria, you should favour these candidates\". Otherwise, it indicates that no guidance can be given. Either way, this rightly places responsibility for decision-making on human shoulders. The outcome is an improved trade-off process for projects.","PeriodicalId":340621,"journal":{"name":"2008 16th IEEE International Requirements Engineering Conference","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125651975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
