Abstract :
One of the biggest problems encountered in Requirements Engineering is the fact that the requirements are poorly specified, inconsistent with the stakeholder´s needs or badly written. This study aims to present a model of Requirements Engineering Process allowing requirements description standardization, seeking to improve the software requirements specification quality. The proposed process will operate in the Requirements Specification and Validation assisting the Requirements Engineer on writing requirements in Natural Language. A comparative study between the proposed process and others who offer assistance to Requirements Engineering is also presented, so benefits of using the proposed process could be identified in software development.
