Mohammed Messaoudi . A Model for Requirements Validation through Viewpoint Control. International Journal of Computer Applications. 184, 4 ( Mar 2022), 42-48. DOI=10.5120/ijca2022922000
Abstract
While requirements analysis is the process of building a conceptual model of part of reality, requirements validation involves maximizing one’s confidence that the resulting conceptual model 'mirrors' the stake holders' original intent. In particular, validation involves assessing the model for correctness, completeness, and internal consistency. This paper describes an approach to the very early validation of requirements based on learning about the viewpoints and building models of their behavior. The paper is part of the work reported by the author in [1].
