Defining Integrated Agriculture Information System Non-Functional Requirement and Re-engineering the Metadata

Abstract

Developing a well-functioning information system like integrated agriculture information system (IAIS) requires a list of task requirements that will be transformed into system features. Feature Driven Development (FDD) model is suitable for this situation. The requirements for building an information system are not solely based on functional needs but also nonfunctional requirements (NFR). Non-functional requirements also play a crucial role in system development as they affect business process management. A well-defined business process will ultimately result in robust system features. It is essential to map non-functional requirements to the business process to clearly identify the information system requirements that will become new features. Not only can NFR enrich system metadata and databases, but they also serve as the initial foundation for the system coding process, leading to the final information system output. This study creates a flow diagram mapping NFR to the business process using Business Process Management Notation (BPMN). Several identified NFR categories are then transformed into metadata and use case diagrams. The formation of this NFR mapping flow diagram is expected to facilitate information system development by visualizing system requirements in a forward and backward flow according to the sequence of processes. Feature development can be streamlined in the event of NFR changes by tracing NFR and related features.
