Goal Oriented Requirements Engineering - A Review

摘要

Requirements engineering is concerned with producing a set of specifications for software systems that satisfy their stakeholders; and can be implemented, deployed and maintained using these alternatives. The last fifteen years have seen the rise of a new phase in software development which is concerned with the acquisition, modeling and analysis of stakeholder purposes ("goals") in order to derive functional and non-functional requirements. Goals play a prominent role in the requirement engineering process; they drive the elaboration of requirements to support them. Goals are intended outcomes to be achieved by the system under consideration. The concept of "Goals" is increasingly being used in requirement engineering. Goal oriented requirements engineering refers to the use of goals for requirements elicitation, elaboration, organization, specification, analysis, negotiation, documentation and evolution. The objective of this paper is to provide a brief and comprehensive review of the major efforts undertaken along this line of research. In this paper we have done literature review of the concepts, terminology, significance and techniques of Goal oriented requirements engineering.
