A Viewpoint-Oriented Requirements Elicitation Integrated with Aspects

It has proved that the success of large-scale software systems depends on how accurate the huge amount of requirements is elicited and analyzed by software engineers. Large-scale software systems usually involve many participants with different needs. To handle the situation, people devise viewpoint-oriented requirement approaches, which regard every participant as a viewpoint and elicit every participantpsilas requirement respectively. Nevertheless, the crosscutting nature of requirements is not addressed by these approaches, but this can be managed using aspect-oriented concepts. Using the requirement data structure of a requirement management tool - RequisitePro for reference, this paper redesigns the structure of viewpoint in vision, and integrates aspects with the approach to deal with requirement conflicts.
