为超越对上下文的模糊诉求,本愿景提出一种新颖的需求工程(RE)质量整体理论。该理论对信息粒子(即离散的领域知识片段)在角色和工件间的传递进行建模。由于RE过程本质上是信息传递,整体RE质量取决于信息流属性,即信息从源(如涉众)到目标(如开发者和测试者)的有效和高效传递,融合了基于工件和过程的RE质量视角。在该理论的示例模拟中,说明了为何高质量规范在敏捷环境中被绕过,证明模拟可为校准RE过程以优化信息流提供可行见解。除组织应用外,该理论还可作为理解RE过程和工件成败的连贯理论框架。
英文摘要
To move beyond this vague appeal to context, this vision proposes a novel holistic theory of requirements engineering (RE) quality. This theory models how information particles, i.e., discrete pieces of domain knowledge, are transferred between roles and artifacts. Since the RE process is ultimately an information transfer, holistic RE quality depends on the properties of information flow, i.e., how effectively and efficiently information is transferred from sources (like stakeholders) to targets (like developers and testers), uniting both artifact- and process-based perspectives on RE quality. In an exemplary simulation of the theory we illustrate why a high-quality specification gets bypassed in an agile context, thereby demonstrating that a simulation can provide actionable insights into calibrating the RE process to optimize the information flow. Beyond organizational applications, we envision that the theory can serve as a coherent theoretical framework for understanding the success or failure of RE processes and artifacts.
