Abstract
AbstractInnovative companies need an agile approach for the engineering of their product requirements, to rapidly respond to and exploit changing conditions. The agile approach to requirements must nonetheless be systematic, especially with respect to accommodating legal and nonfunctional requirements. This paper examines how to support a combination of lightweight, agile requirements which can still be systematically modeled, analyzed and changed. We propose a framework, RE-KOMBINE, which is based on a propositional language for requirements modeling called Techne. We define operations on Techne models which tolerate the presence of inconsistencies in the requirements. This paraconsistent reasoning is vital for supporting delayed commitment to particular design solutions. We evaluate these operations with an industry case study using two well-known formal analysis tools. Our evaluations show that the proposed framework scales to industry-sized requirements models, while still retaining (via propositional logic) the informality that is so useful during early requirements analysis.Keywordsparaconsistencyagilityrequirementsevolution
