Requirements Engineering of complex COTS
- in the application area of automation engineering software -
(gleiche Information in Deutsch)
Research Issues
COTS (commercial of the shelf software) is developed for a whole market instead of individual customers. This influences strongly the requirements engineering process beginning at the elicitation until to the specification of the requirements and also the whole development process of this kind of software. In our project part we concentrate on problems which come from this special situation of market orientation.
We consider especially the following issues:
- the analysis of different sources of requirements,
- the prioritization of requirements,
- the development of complex COTS in versions and variants
and
- the utilization of the bulky information for
the requirements engineering process of complex COTS
We aim at an integrated method for the requirements engineering of
complex COTS which particularly has to support the management of the
complexity of the requirements engineering process.
