主 题:Value-oriented review perspective-based reading scenario-based reading lightweight review software requirements specification
摘 要:A software requirements specification(SRS)is a detailed description of a software system to be *** paper proposes and evaluates a lightweight review approach called value-oriented review(VOR)to detect defects in *** approach comprises setting core values based on SRS and detecting the defects disturbing the core *** evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach,we conducted a controlled experiment to investigate whether reviewers could identify and record the core values based on SRS and find defects disturbing the core *** of the evaluation with 56 software engineers showed that 91%of the reviewers identified appropriate core values and 82%of the reviewers detected defects based on the identified core ***,the average number of defects detected using the proposed approach was slightly smaller than that detected using perspective-based reading(PBR);however,PBR requires defining review scenarios before attempting to detect any *** results also demonstrated that the proposed approach helped reviewers detect the omission defects,which are more difficult to detect from SRS than defects because of ambiguity or incorrect requirements.
