            Abstract : 
Complex software systems, such as telecom OSS/BSS, evolve over the years, based on a stream of incremental specifications. This paper examines the raison d´etre and an approach for building a repository of validating prototypes against key requirements in the incremental specifications, to formalize the specifications in a requirements engineering knowledge base.
