From: dewal@exunido..uucp (Sanjay Dewal) Path: exunido!dewal Hallo, We are trying to define requirements for Software Factories. In ESF, which is an EUREKA project,we made an attempt to define the requirements not dependent on ceratain application domains. During further work we realized that it is necessary to take the application domain into account in order to get the re- quirements more clear. Does anyone know any specific approach strategies which are used to get or de- fine requirements catalogues for Software Factories or at least SEEs ? During a literature research I could find only several types of empirical re- search as an approach. This research depends on asking experts or examining existing tools. Both approaches have basic cons that they are not applicable for us and they postpone the problem, as with these methods the analyst has to define questions lists to guide the interview or examination. Besides I found only a few references to this subject. I wonder why usual methods used for requirements engineering for systems are not used for the requirements engineering of SF's or SEE's. Have you got any ideas or references? Thanks in advance. Bye Sanjay University of Dortmund Department of Computer Science Software Technology Laboratory Post Box 500500 D-4600 Dortmund 50 W.
