需求分析是软件项目的一个重要阶段。它通常由专家以非正式的方式进行,他们审查文件,寻找含糊不清、技术不一致和不完整之处。自动评估自然语言(NL)的需求文件已被提出作为一种手段,以提高系统的质量正在开发中。我们展示了在质量分析过程中引入的工具QuARS Express如何能够管理包含元数据的复杂且结构化的需求文档,并生成包含丰富分类信息的分析报告,指出语言缺陷和有关NL写作风格的指示要求。在本文中,我们报告了我们的经验,使用这个工具在自动分析大量的自然语言的要求,产生内部的MODCONTROL项目。
Requirements analysis is an important phase in a software project. It is often performed in an informal way by specialists who review documents looking for ambiguities, technical inconsistencies and incompleteness. Automatic evaluation of Natural Language (NL) requirements documents has been proposed as a means to improve the quality of the system under development. We show how the tool QuARS Express, introduced in a quality analysis process, is able to manage complex and structured requirement documents containing metadata, and to produce an analysis report rich of categorized information that points out linguistic defects and indications about the writing style of NL requirements. In this paper we report our experience using this tool in the automatic analysis of a large collection of natural language requirements, produced inside the MODCONTROL project.
