“…In the context of twin peaks for requirements and architecture, we explain the mapping of FRV with the three architectural viewpoints namely FAV, TAV and DAV. We take an example of a project we carried out on developing a knowledge platform for product requirement configuration [13]. It should be noted that we already have an ontology based repository that stores the development knowledge of similar projects done by us in the past using the principles of bootstrapping.…”

The disciplines of requirements engineering (RE) and software architecture (SA) are fundamental to the success of software projects. The synergistic relationship between these two disciplines has long been acknowledged by both academicians and practitioners alike. To build successful and cost-effective software systems, we must understand and leverage the linkages between functional and architectural requirements. We discuss a knowledge-assisted approach that establishes traceability between functional and architectural requirements. The approach classifies requirements into the problem context (functional) and a solution (architectural) context. The functional context is called Functional Requirement Viewpoint (FRV). The architectural context is further categorized into three sub-contexts namely the Functional Architecture Viewpoint (FAV), the Technical Architecture Viewpoint (TAV) and the Deployment Architecture Viewpoint (DAV). Though the approach separates the problem domain and the solution domain explicitly; it facilitates development of requirements and architectural specifications concurrently; appreciating the necessary interplay between the two.

Product knowledge plays an important role in identifying the requirements of the desired variant and configuring the existing product to the present needs of a customer. The success of a product-based business depends to a great extent on how efficiently and accurately the existing product knowledge is utilized for customization needs. Oftentimes however, product knowledge resides with few key individuals in an organization. In the absence of their involvement, project teams may redevelop product features unnecessarily, resulting in an effort overhead. Such overdependence poses a risk to projects. To identify the requirements for the variants accurately and efficiently, we need to have a thorough knowledge of the existing product features. In this paper, we discuss our work on representing product knowledge and reusing it in a Requirements Engineering (RE) exercise for a large project involving product customization. We present our experience from using the configurator for requirements gap analysis and customizations.
