Visual software requirements definition environment

The authors propose a visual software requirements definition method including describing a visual software requirements specification (SRS) with a visual requirements language and executing the SRS. The method proposed provides a describer for defining both the shape and semantics of icons to specify the requirements as he imagines. The method also provides for describing an icons´ movements as a scenario description. This scenario enables an execution of the SRS with animation. The describer can confirm his requirements by checking the animation. Furthermore the paper describes a supporting method of visual software requirements definition by multiple developers via a network system
