Employing use-cases for piecewise evaluation of requirements and claims

conference paper
Motivation – Complex design specifications must be partitioned in manageable pieces to be able to evaluate them in separate experiments. No methodology exists yet to deal with this task.
Research approach – Practical experience in Situated Cognitive Engineering and the Mission Execution Crew Assistant is combined with a theoretical perspective on the relation between use-cases, requirements and claims.
Findings/design – Hierarchical clustering is an effective method for partitioning a design specification.
Use-cases provide a good criterion based on which to cluster the requirements and claims.
Originality/Value – A new method and tool are presented for organising requirements and for systematising the evaluation of a complex design
specification.
Take away message – Piecewise evaluation benefits from a use-case-based partitioning of the design specification combined with an experimental stance on requirements and claims.
