“…The objective is to minimize the amount of visual analysis that the user would need to perform by reducing his/her need to examine every path string when trying to assess results. To explicitly address states and transitions during the framing of questions, we have proposed a method of translating the requirements into a STD [27]. The method results in traceability between NL requirements and its STD model, which in turn enables any SQ derived from requirements, to use the same states and transitions which appear in the STD.…”

Abstract-Adequate requirements validation could prevent errors from propagating into later development phase, and eventually improve the quality of software systems. However, often validating textual requirements is difficult and errorprone. We develop a feedback-based requirements validation methodology that provides an interactive and systematic way to validate a requirements model. Our approach is based on the notion of querying a model, which is built from a requirements specification, with scenario questions, in order to determine whether the model's behavior satisfies the given requirements. To investigate feasibility of our approach, we implemented a Scenario Question Query Engine (SQ 2 E), which uses scenario questions to query a model, and performed a preliminary case study using a real-world application. The results show that the approach we proposed was effective in detecting both expected and unexpected behaviors in a model. We believe that our approach could improve the quality of requirements and ultimately the quality of software systems.

Due to the variety of sensors and portability of mobile phones, an increasing amount of mobile apps are released for the purpose of health monitoring. To design a new health monitoring app, a conventional approach is to define a goal model with the intervention of stakeholders. As there are a large number of apps in this domain, many of them have similar features, which can be exploited to reduce the time consumption of requirements elicitation, improve their quality and help the requirements prioritization. In this paper, we propose a novel requirements engineering approach by analysing similar apps. In this approach, we identify similar apps and analyze their descriptions, user reviews, Android APK and source code for the construction and enrichment of a Domain Feature Model. This model will be used as a support for the requirements engineers in different phases of requirements engineering.
