The method to divide a sentence of requirement into individual requirements and the development of requirement specification editor which can describe individual requirements

Abstract

Background Agile software development gains requirements from the direct discussion with customers and the development staff each time, and the customers evaluate the appropriateness of the requirement. If the customers divide the complicated requirement into individual requirements, the engineer who is in charge of software development can understand it easily. This is called division of requirement. However, the customers do not understand how much and how to divide the requirements. Results This paper proposes the method to divide a complicated requirement into individual requirements. Also, it shows the development of requirement specification editor which can describe individual requirements. Conclusions The engineer who is in charge of software development can understand requirements easily. © 2013 Sato et al.
