Software requirements, reqinteraction, requirements attributes, semi-formal methods
Requirements interactions are a big challenge in any software development methodology. This paper describes a three-level framework that can be customized for any domain and used to detect requirements interactions at different levels of cost and complexity. A definition of the different possible scenarios in which interactions between requirements will occur is presented with the goal of creating a general requirements interaction taxonomy. The paper then focuses on the semi-formal appraoch contained in level 2 of the framework and applies it to eight telecommunication features presented in the second feature interaction contest held in 2000. Finally, the results obtained are compared with those reported in literature.
