Probing for requirements knowledge to stimulate architectural thinking

Probing Questions, Participatory Democracy, Quality Assurance, and Customer Data

“…"Probing for Requirements Knowledge to Stimulate Architectural Thinking," by Preethu Anish and her colleagues, describes an inexpensive, down-to-earth requirements elicitation technique to ensure that software requirement speci cations (SRSs) contain architecturally relevant information. 1 This research aims to equip business analysts with the appropriate probing questions (PQs) software architects typically ask. This will enable the analysts to elicit and specify architecturally relevant information themselves.…”

Stimulating architectural thinking during requirements elicitation : an approach and tool support

“…Based on the analysis of the survey findings, PQ-flows for the 15 ASFR categories were created. This study is published in [35].…”

“…For automating this recommendation, we evaluated existing machine learning techniques on our dataset to find if it is feasible to automate the recommendation and annotation of PQ-flows. Initial results on this are reported in [35]. We note that design of machine learning techniques is out of scope for this research.…”

“…The majority of the research presented in this dissertation has been published previously. The chapters are based on the following publications [33,34,35…”

“…These PQflows can be used by BAs to elicit and specify architecturally relevant information. This chapter is largely based on the publication [35].…”
