“…A demand exists for educating developers capable of both abstracting in a problem space and automating the transition to a solution space [15]. Other approaches to requirements reuse do not share the aspirations towards connecting the requirements and the solution spaces, as follows both from the state-ofthe-practice [1] and the literature [6] studies. The studied approaches focus on reusing natural language, use cases, domain models and several other artifacts disjoint from the solution space.…”

Insufficient requirements reusability, understandability and verifiability jeopardize software projects. Empirical studies show little success in improving these qualities separately. Applying objectoriented thinking to requirements leads to their unified treatment. An online library of reusable requirement templates implements recurring requirement structures, offering a starting point for practicing the unified approach.

“…Reuse is a cornerstone activity in all facets of engineering, and Requirements Engineering (RE) is not an exception. There are several recent works reporting on approaches to requirements reuse (see [1] for a literature review) and in particular, evidence exists that in industry, reuse practices are not yet commonplace [2]. One of the contexts where requirements reuse may pay off occurs with call for tenders processes articulated around the needs for some technological solution exposed in Request for Proposals (RfPs).…”

Requirements reuse is still today a difficult goal to achieve. One particular context in which requirements reuse may give more benefits than costs is that of call for tenders projects, due to the similarity of the requirements documents (which take the form of requests for proposal documents, RfPs) from one project to another. In this paper, we present an approach aimed at making systematic the assessment of RfPs that technology providers need to conduct in order to decide whether they present a bid or not in a call for tenders project. The approach extends a metamodel we already defined for the former PABRE method, which has a similar goal but from the perspective of the organization that issues the call for tenders. The method is illustrated with an exploratory case study in the field of the railway systems domain.

“…Software reuse is a considerably more advanced research area than software documentation reuse. There is a multitude of studies on software reuse and a part of them has been adopted by the industry (see surveys [3,4,5]). However, the problem of software documentation reuse largely remains a This work is partially supported by RFBR grant 16-01-00304.…”

Various software features such as classes, methods, requirements, and tests often have similar functionality. This can lead to emergence of duplicates in their descriptive documentation. Uncontrolled duplicates created via copy/paste hinder the process of documentation maintenance. Therefore, the task of duplicate detection in software documentation is of importance. Solving it makes planned reuse possible, as well as creating and using templates for unification and automatic generation of documentation. In this paper, we present an interactive process for duplicate detection that involves the user in order to conduct meaningful search. It includes a new formal definition of a near duplicate, a pattern-based, and the proof of its completeness. Moreover, we demonstrate the results of experimenting on a collection of documents of several industrial projects.
