A system to guide interview-driven requirements elicitation work: domain -- specific navigation using the transition pattern of topics

TLDR: A method to implement the system to guide the SE's interview-driven requirements elicitation work using some domain-specific rules based on the transition pattern of topics is described.

Abstract: Software is developed on the basis of requirements specification that described user's requirements. Since the software to be developed also contains some errors when the specification includes some errors and omissions of user's requirements, the work to remove software errors brings the process delay and large cost. Therefore, it is required to elicit user's software requirements without any omissions, to analyze the elicited requirements correctly, and to describe the specification. However, even if a worker is a experienced SE, it is not easy to perform these works correctly and efficiently. It is required to develop the technology to support requirements elicitation process. The authors regard software requirements elicitation technology as an interview technique, and propose a system to guide the SE's interview-driven requirements elicitation work. This paper describes a method to implement the system to guide software requirements elicitation work using some domain-specific rules based on the transition pattern of topics.
