提案编号：CCR-9983926TITLE：Career：朝向评估需求覆盖率：在需求演变期间管理场景和目标PI：Ana(Annie)I.Anton本提案中概述的职业发展计划侧重于首席研究员整合核心研究和教育目标的努力。这项研究解决了在发现、细化和管理软件需求规范的系统使用场景方面的重要问题。最终目标是开发可行的解决方案，通过确保需求覆盖率来支持软件生命周期的早期阶段。目标是制定一个框架和基于网络的工具支持，以便能够在情景管理和演变期间评价需求活动和流程，以及评估需求覆盖面。这个基于网络的工具将作为一个实验性的研究引擎，为不同领域、站点和项目团队的真实客户收集一系列项目中需求工程活动的数据。教育部分与研究计划密切相关。本科生和研究生水平的学生以及行业参与者将使用研究活动中产生的软件。这项研究的结果有望改善在需求规范过程中采用基于目标和基于场景的方法的项目的结果。不同领域的项目库将为软件工程教育带来新的材料，如技术、方法和案例。

Proposal Number: CCR-9983926TITLE: CAREER: Towards Estimating Requirements Coverage: Managing Scenarios and Goals During Requirements EvolutionPI: Ana (Annie) I. AntonThe career development planned outlined in this proposal focuses on theprincipal investigator's efforts to integrate core research and educationalobjectives. The research addresses important issues in the discovery,elaboration and management of system use scenarios for the specification ofsoftware requirements. The ultimate goal is to develop viable solutionsfor supporting the early stages of the software lifecycle by ensuringrequirements coverage. The objective is to produce a framework, andweb-based tool support, to enable the evaluation of requirements activitiesand processes during scenario management and evolution as well asrequirements coverage estimation. The web-based tool will serve as anexperimental research engine, collecting data on requirements engineeringactivities in a series of projects for real clients in various domains,sites and project teams.The educational component is closely related to the research plan.Students, at the undergraduate and graduate level, as well as industrialparticipants, will use the software produced during the researchactivities. The results of this research are expected to improve theoutcome of projects that employ goal and scenario-based approaches duringrequirements specification. A library of projects in various domains willlead to new materials such as techniques, methods and cases for softwareengineering education.
