Abstract
This research work focuses on developing a new requirement engineering
model (RSPL) based on a Model Driven Architecture and Web-tier application
framework, to support automatic and interactive requirements generation and
specification when creating families of systems. In realizing the model, two
goals were targeted namely (i) to construct a requirement engineering model
that support automatic transformation of domain features into actor-specific
requirements; and (ii) to design and implement an interactive web based
requirement engineering tool that demonstrates the requirements generation
and specification process for a product line. The result obtained is twofold: (i)
a model driven architecture for rapid requirements generation and
specification for a product line that reduces costs and development time; (ii)
tool implementation based on a web tier application framework that supports
different client and actor types. In conclusion, the study is a contribution to a
recently advocated idea that requirements generation and specification for
product line development could be model-driven. The result shows that the
idea is promising with respect to requirement reuse and improving
communication barriers among members of a system development team.
