Requirements Engineering-Based Conceptual Modelling

, , and . Requirements Engineering, 7 (2): 61--72 (June 2002)

Abstract

The software production process involves a set of phases where a clear relationship and smooth transitions between them shouldbe introduced. In this paper, a requirements engineering-based conceptual modelling approach is introduced as a way to improvethe quality of the software production process. The aim of this approach is to provide a set of techniques and methods tocapture software requirements and to provide a way to move from requirements to a conceptual schema in a traceable way. Theapproach combines a framework for requirements engineering (TRADE) and a graphical object-oriented method for conceptual modellingand code generation (OO-Method). The intended improvement of the software production process is accomplished by providinga precise methodological guidance to go from the user requirements (represented through the use of the appropriate TRADE techniques)to the conceptual schema that properly represents them (according to the conceptual constructs provided by the OO-Method).Additionally, as the OO-Method provides full model-based code generation features, this combination minimises the time dedicatedto obtaining the final software product.   ER -
