Value-Based Selection of Requirements Engineering Tool Support. (bibtex)
by Matthias Heindl, Franz Reinisch, Stefan Biffl, Alexander Egyed
Abstract:
In large software and systems engineering compa- nies like Siemens PSE there are several requirements tools in use. There is no “one tool fits all pro- jects/departments” solution for requirements engineer- ing due to the variety of departments and project types. Thus, project managers and requirements engineers usually face the problem of selecting the most suitable tool sets available for their given situation. In this paper, we report on a value-based require- ments tool selection approach developed at PSE that helps to find the optimal tool support. This selection is based on rating the value contribution of suitably- defined tool features for the given project context. We conducted an initial feasibility study with a number of typical requirements tools at PSE. Main results were: The approach is straight-forward and seems to be a good means for project managers to compare require- ments tools and select the most valuable tool for a par- ticular project.
