Análise e projeto de uma ferramenta para especificação de requisitos e modelagem de software

Abstract

With the technological advances, the use of systems based on data processing are more and more included in our society, increasing the search for high quality, trustworthy and low-cost software. In this context, as the required systems grow in complexity, it is necessary to use tools that assist and integrate different activities in the software development process. However, a tool that includes the software specification and modeling activities for the agile context remains a challenge for stakeholders, since they perform their tasks in different tools, which may lead to uncertainties and inconsistencies between the generated artifacts. Therefore, the objective of this monograph is the analysis and design of a web tool called Requirements spEcification and system MOdeling to assist the requirements specification and software modeling. The tool is composed of three modules: (i) Project management; (ii) agile requirements specification; and (iii) software modeling. Also, an architecture was developed to ensure the design and the structuring of the tool. A case study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed architecture to facilitate the development of REMO tool. The results showed that the tool can assist the analysts during the requirement specification and software modeling activities in agile context.
