Model-driven Engineering for Requirements Analysis
In: EDOC'07 (Entreprise Distributed Object Computing Conference), Annapolis, MD, USA.
Requirements engineering (RE) encompasses a set of activities for
eliciting, modelling, agreeing, communicating
and validating requirements that precisely define the problem domain
for a software system. Several tools and
methods exist to perform each of these activities, but they mainly
remain separate, making it difficult to capture the
global consistency of large requirement documents. In this paper we
introduce model-driven engineering (MDE) as a
possible technical solution to integrate these activities in a common
framework. First, we dicuss how RE can leverage
the two main techniques for MDE: metamodelling and model transformation.
Then, we introduce a metamodel for
requirements and present how we have implemented this metamodel to
make it executable and usable through a
constrained natural language for requirements definition.
