Development of scenario management and requirements tool (SMaRT): Towards supporting scenariobased requirements engineering methodology

Abstract

Scenariobased methodology has been applied in analyzing real world experience into representation in software environment. Nonetheless, capturing, documenting and managing scenarios are extremely laborintensive. Hence, the generic aims of this project are to investigate, explore and analyze requirements management process towards supporting scenariobased requirements approach. Based on our analysis of the existing RE or Requirements Management (RM) tools, most of the tools had less focus or missing some significant RE features to facilitate scenariobased methodology. We analyzed all the relevant features and developed a prototype i.e. Scenariobased Requirements Tool (SMaRT) to demonstrate how scenariobased approach can be implemented to further supports scenariobased RE methodology and covers most of the RE process i.e. elicitation, analysis and negotiation, documentation, validation, and management. SMaRT improves the RE tool features i.e. project and requirements management, document generation and validation function to further supports scenariobased RE methodology and covers most of the RE process i.e. elicitation, analysis, negotiation, documentation, validation, and management.
