Towards Understanding Implications of Trace Dependencies among Quality Requirements

Authors: Alexander Egyed and Paul Grünbacher

Understanding the implications of trace dependencies among quality requirements is necessary in critical engineering activities such as architectural risk assessment. In this paper we will first briefly summarize our scenario-based approach to generating trace dependencies and then demonstrate how to "add" meaning to the created trace dependencies in order to understand their implications. The paper also discusses automated support for trade-off analysis, and a brief discussion of related work.
