Mercoledì 6 febbraio in Aula Hume alle 12.00 la prof.ssa Sabrina Marczak, PUCRS University (Brazil), terrà un seminario dal titolo “Requirements-driven Collaboration – A framework and patterns from a case study”
Abstract
Requirements Engineering (RE) is an area filled with challenges of a non-technical nature. RE involves activities such as negotiation, analysis and requirements management in subsequent phases of development. It also requires communication from the elicitation phase down to the analysis, implementation and test phases. As such, it involves collaboration among large, often geographically distributed cross-functional teams comprised of requirements analysts, software architects, developers, and testers. To study such collaboration, named requirements-driven collaboration, we defined an approach that uses concepts and techniques from social network analysis. In this talk I will present the motivation to study requirements-driven collaboration, the approach proposed, and discuss some patterns identified in a case study of a multinational company.
