Analyzing requirements like a detective
Abstract
[Context and motivation] Existing requirements engineering (RE) methods and tools support practitioners. [Question/problem] However, with the increase in cross-disciplinary teams, the communication between team members requires a better understanding of role-specific interests and information needs. Moreover, selecting the right methods for gathering information based on actual needs is important and challenging as well. How can information needs be satisfied and the gap between as-is and to-be analysis be bridged? Other disciplines offer potential tools and methods that might be worthwhile to adapt. [Principal ideas/results] We envision the use of conspiracy walls- taken from the crime investigation domain-in RE. [Contribution] In this interactive session, we want to investigate the question of the applicability of the conspiracy wall method for data analysis in RE on the example of software products targeting citizens in rural areas. We provide pre-filled conspiracy walls for all participants of the CreaRE workshop and perform data analysis based on our exemplary evidence, leading to a joint discussion of the applicability of the method.
