A software requirements analysis and definition methodology for business data processing

Published: 04 May 1981 Publication History

Abstract

A well-defined set of work breakdown structures for requirements analysis and definition activities, three levels of system modeling techniques, and the application methodologies are proposed. The experimental result in using the proposed requirements-engineering methodology is introduced and shows remarkable improvement in the quality of requirements documents. The methodology was originally developed for the business data processings.
