Abstract

Scenarios are widely and successfully used to discover requirements for software-intensive systems. Recent advances in mobile computing technologies mean that mobile tools can support scenario-based techniques in the workplace, with potential benefits to requirements processes. To explore this idea we have been developing the Mobile Scenario Presenter (MSP) tool and used it successfully in a number of evaluation studies and projects. The MSP supports analysts working in the field to better understand the work context of a future system ´s end users. The interactive tool demo allows RE experts to actively use the MSP to explore its capabilities and benefits.
