Uma Abordagem para Engenharia de Requisitos Aplicada a Sistemas de Informação

Abstract

Information systems (IS) rely on software to model, simulate and execute business processes. The complexity, size and diversity of these processes is a challenge for Requirements Engineering (RE). This paper presents an approach to deal with this challenge. In this approach the concept of Business Process is the basis for all RE activities and products. A proof of concept of the feasibility of this approach has been taken with its use in the specification of software that supports the RE process itself. The comparison of this software with others that represent the state of the art on RE tools shows that few tools meet the requirements related to the RE support for IS, especially in supporting the concepts of business processes.
