The Software Controlled Experience Base of a Computer-Aided System Designer

Abstract

The article describes an approach to the creation of an experience base for a software design organization, which is focused on its application in the development of software-intensive automated systems (AS). The use of the proposed experience base extends the potential of the OwnWIQA tool-modeling environment in the workplace of a member of the software design team. The specificity of the toolkit includes the design of a reusable model (precedent model) in the process of work execution on the design of an AS, which is included in the experience base for the purpose of its further use in the development of AS or the creation of a new AS from the same family. The article describes the knowledge base model of software projects, tools for finding use cases, implemented in the OwnWIQA environment. Experimental studies are described that reveal the parameters of precision and recall for a precedent search in the knowledge base. The factors influencing these indicators for different users of the system are given. The article may be of interest to specialists in the field of building knowledge and experience bases.
