Reference model for the integration of business modeling to requirements engineering: A proposal from the software industry

Abstract

The vast majority of existing techniques and methods used in Requirements Engineering are not concerned with understanding and representing business processes; Which means that these techniques are more oriented to the specifications of the systems and not to the business as such. This article proposes a reference model of integration between business modeling and requirements engineering, which is supported by data collection records, which allow documenting software development with a process approach. The main contribution of the work is that it can be considered as good practice in software development processes to meet the strategic objectives of the business and meet the needs of customers.
