Requirements Processes: An Experience Report

Processes are certainly a key element in software management. Defining and using processes is believed to be an important factor towards quality. Our paper describes a general process language and the experience on its use by two different research teams with two different requirements processes. The process language is the basic representation for a process reuse repository implemented as a web application. The web application was used in order to describe a process for requeriments management and a process for interface generation based on requirements information. We present both processes as well as an evaluation of the prototype. Our results are a confirmation of the importance of process reuse and of the possibility of sharing requirements information by publication, on the web, of requeriments processes.
