Integrating group support systems, joint application development, and computer-aided software engineering for requirements specification

The possibility of integrating group support systems (GSSs), joint application development (JAD), and computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tools to support the requirements specification processes is examined. The relevance of GSSs, JAD, and CASE to requirements specification is discussed. An integration framework is proposed and is augmented by a domain-analysis methodology. A pilot study conducted to assess the effectiveness of applying the domain-analysis methodology in using GSSs for requirements specification is reported.<
