reqT.org – Towards a Semi-Formal, Open and Scalable Requirements Modeling Tool

Regnell, Björn LU orcid (2013) International Workshop on Requirements Engineering: Foundation for Software Quality, 2013 7830. p.112-118
Abstract
[Context and motivation] This research preview presents ongoing work on a free software requirements modeling tool called reqT that is developed in an educational context. [Question/problem] The work aims to engage computer science students in Requirements Engineering (RE) through a tool that captures essential RE concepts in executable code. [Principal ideas] Requirements are modeled using an internal DSL in the Scala programming language that blends natural language strings with a graph-oriented formalism. [Contribution] The metamodel of reqT and its main features are presented and modeling examples are provided together with a discussion on initial experiences from student projects, limitations and directions of further research.
