软件专业人员对视频作为需求工程媒介的态度

Software Professionals' Attitudes towards Video as a Medium in Requirements Engineering

Oliver Karras

摘要:

在需求工程(RE)中,知识主要通过书面规格说明来传达。这种做法是繁琐的,因为它的沟通丰富性和有效性低。相比之下,视频可以更丰富、更有效地传递知识。然而,视频仍然是RE中被忽视的媒体。我们调查,如果软件专业人士认为视频作为一种媒介,可以有助于RE。我们专注于他们的态度,视频作为一种媒介,在可再生能源,包括其优势,劣势,机会和威胁。我们进行了一项调查,以探讨这些态度与问卷。106名软件专业人员中有64人完成了调查。受访者对视频的总体态度是积极的。其中59人表示,视频具有改善RE的潜力。然而,34名受访者也提到了对RE的视频威胁。我们从软件专业人士的角度确定了RE视频的优势、劣势、机会和威胁。视频是一种潜力被忽视的媒介。软件专业人员不会从根本上拒绝RE中的视频。尽管视频具有优势和机会,但所述的弱点和威胁阻碍了其应用。根据我们的研究结果,我们得出结论,软件专业人士需要指导如何制作和使用视频的视觉沟通,以充分利用目前被忽视的潜力。

英文摘要:

In requirements engineering (RE), knowledge is mainly communicated via written specifications. This practice is cumbersome due to its low communication richness and effectiveness. In contrast, videos can transfer knowledge more richly and effectively. However, video is still a neglected medium in RE. We investigate if software professionals perceive video as a medium that can contribute to RE. We focus on their attitudes towards video as a medium in RE including its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. We conducted a survey to explore these attitudes with a questionnaire. 64 out of 106 software professionals completed the survey. The respondents' overall attitude towards video is positive. 59 of them stated that video has the potential to improve RE. However, 34 respondents also mentioned threats of videos for RE. We identified the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of videos for RE from the point of view of software professionals. Video is a medium with a neglected potential. Software professionals do not fundamentally reject videos in RE. Despite the strengths and opportunities of video, the stated weaknesses and threats impede its application. Based on our findings, we conclude that software professionals need guidance on how to produce and use videos for visual communication to take full advantage of the currently neglected potential.
