Elicitation of Testing Requirements from the Selected Set of Software’s Functional Requirements Using Fuzzy-Based Approach

Abstract

Software requirements elicitation is employed to find out different types of software requirements. In literature, we find out that goal-oriented requirements elicitation (GORE) techniques do not underpin the identification of testing requirements from the functional requirements (FR) in early phase of requirements engineering. Therefore, to tackle this research issue, we proposed an approach for the elicitation of the testing requirements from FR. In real-life applications, only those requirements are implemented which are selected by stakeholders; and tested by testers after implementation during different releases of software. So in the proposed method we used fuzzy-based technique for FR selection on the basis of nonfunctional requirements (NFR). Finally, an example is given to explain the proposed method.
