Requirements Engineering

This research aims to help safety and requirements engineers to have a better understanding of the relationships between SRATs, software safety process and requirements elicitation activity. A framework is proposed to integrate the software safety activities and SRATs into the existing elicitation activity. The proposed work, Safety Risk Assessment Techniques in Requirements Elicitation (SaTRE) Integration Framework is derived by

• reviewing existing studies and conducting a survey to identify and select appropriate SRATs and activities that are relevant to software safety requirements elicitation.

• mapping the selected SRATs, safety activities and steps into three stages of the requirements elicitation activity (i.e. pre-elicitation, midst of elicitation, and post-elicitation).

This research aims to develop a method and a supporting tool that will help software and requirements engineers to elicit sustainability requirements at the early stage of software development in order to achieve greenness towards mobile application design. A method called is proposed based on GQM approach to asists the elicitation of sustainability requirements for green mobile application design with regard to Portability, Supportability, Performance, Dependability, Usability and Accessibility.

A case study is conducted to evaluate the proposed method. The examples of sustainability requirements for this case study can be accessed via the link: [Examples]
