About this title

Synopsis

This text provides overviews of Requirements Engineering (RE) and process-centred engineering environments (PCEEs). In addition, the book describes approaches to: the provision of a framework for RE (using four "worlds" and three dimensions); the modelling of creative processes; the integration of tools into the process; the provision of a framework for requirements traceability; the architecture for implementing a PCEE; and the definition of a trace repository. The contextual process modelling approach allows guidance and control of process execution within a process-centred environment. Requirements traceability is supported by (almost) automated recording of traces, enabling selective retrieval of the traces and appropriate use of trace information during process execution. The methods described thus establish the foundation for experience-based process improvement, and show the advantages of using a process-oriented environment to achieve good RE results.
