Abstract
Requirements engineering needs a good process and the right tool. Yet in many companies I observe unsuitable use of tools. Missing, wrong, and changing requirements are major failure points. Tools for requirements facilitate professional and efficient engineering throughout the lifecycle. We provide here an overview and evaluation of current requirements engineering tools. Hands-on guidance on tool selection and their usage facilitates selecting the right tool for your environment.—Christof Ebert
期刊介绍:
IEEE Software delivers reliable, useful, leading-edge software development information to keep engineers and managers abreast of rapid technology change. Its mission is to build the community of leading software practitioners. The authority on translating software theory into practice, this magazine positions itself between pure research and pure practice, transferring ideas, methods, and experiences among researchers and engineers. Peerreviewed articles and columns by seasoned practitioners illuminate all aspects of the industry, including process improvement, project management, development tools, software maintenance, Web applications and opportunities, testing, and usability. The magazine''s readers specify, design, document, test, maintain, purchase, engineer, sell, teach, research, and manage the production of software or systems that include software. IEEE Software welcomes articles describing how software is developed in specific companies, laboratories, and university environments as well as articles describing new tools, current trends, and past projects'' limitations and failures as well as successes. Sample topics include geographically distributed development; software architectures; program and system debugging and testing; the education of software professionals; requirements, design, development, testing, and management methodologies; performance measurement and evaluation; standards; program and system reliability, security, and verification; programming environments; languages and language-related issues; Web-based development; usability; and software-related social and legal issues.
