Repository Construction and Reuse of Software Requirement

Abstract

Software reuse is not limited to reusing code used a lot but can be used in all steps and activities related to software production. In particular, the reuse of requirements has various benefits by reusing reliable requirements, and the development of requirements is an early stage of software development and may have higher efficiency than the utilization of reuse in later stages if reuse is utilized from the initial stage. However, despite its many advantages, the study on the reuse of requirements is insufficient. Therefore, to explore the possibility of the requirements reuse, we conducted a total of four stages in this paper: selection of targets and stakeholders, construction of requirements repository, reuse of requirements repository, and result analysis, and a case study of requirements repository construction and reuse was conducted. We have confirmed the fact that the reuse of requirements possible with a high proportion in practice through the application of actual case and we have also confirmed the possibility of research on the reuse of requirements. If we deal with the reliable requirements by increasing the utilization of requirements reuse, the possibility of the project's success will also be greatly increased.
