Abstract

This chapter highlights one concept representing the human role in requirements engineering and analysis for model synthesis. The production of design documentation to support model development requires elicitation of user requirements. The process of requirement elicitation plays a primary role in all Model-Driven Software Engineering (MDSE). Issues addressed include how requirements are gathered by the use of surveys, interviews, and questionnaires, and the importance of using validated constructs when gathering user information during requirement elicitation. Survey constructs, as used in requirements engineering, are analogues to the models in the final engineering product. A solution to improving the use of survey methods in the gathering of requirements is introduced. A small application is shown that suggests an example use of this proposed solution. This review of current practices explores areas where challenges are faced in the field with a concluding discussion that points to future trends in this research field.
