An integrated environment for requirements engineering

An integrated environment for requirements engineering that supports participatory development activities is described. The environment helps ensure quality by supporting and encouraging group participation and interaction. The computer-supported cooperative-work environment supports the development and analysis of system-and-software-level requirements for large, complex applications. It encompasses and coordinates all aspects of requirements development, from conceptual inspiration, through planning, to specific project details. Case studies of groups using this environment show it can support requirements engineering for groups of users determining system-level requirements for large, complex systems.<
