Abstract

AbstractThe development of requirements for large systems is a complex and iterative process. Adequately maintaining a requirements set for large systems with multiple configuration items quickly becomes an intractable problem. This paper presents an approach which applies object‐oriented modeling techniques to represent the interrelationships between requirements and provide traceability to subsequent, related development products. The ability to automatically compute transitive closures over user‐defined relationships provides a powerful yet simple mechanism for tracing the impact of a requirement change to potentially affected components. This model of requirements relationships is complemented by the ability to model the content and structure of specification documents. By applying the representation of the document structure, coupled with a database query capability, the system can generate a System Segment Specification, Software Requirement Specification, and a Software Design Document based on the contents of the model.
