Creation of multiple conceptual models from user stories – a natural language processing approach

Abstract

While Agile methodologies are used in software development, researchers have identified many issues related to requirements engineering in Agile approaches. Some of these issues relate to ambiguity in user stories, which is a widely-used requirements specification mechanism in Agile methodologies. This research proposes the use of conceptual models while developing user stories. We posit that the use of conceptual models helps reducing ambiguity in user stories. An important aspect of our research is the creation of an algorithm for automatic generation of such models while developing the user stories.
