Jiang, L.Eberlein, A.2008-06-132008-06-132008Proceedings of the 19th Australian Conference on Software Engineering, 2008, pp.507-5169780769531007http://hdl.handle.net/2440/45344Adoption of the most suitable requirements engineering (RE) process and selection of the most appropriate RE techniques for a given project are challenging issues for industry. In order to alleviate the problems, a framework for RE process development (FRERE) was developed based on our research in the last six years. The overall architecture of the framework and a brief case study are presented in the paper. The framework addresses several core issues of the RE process: engineering issues, domain issues, characteristics of the software project, and issues of conformity to software process standards. FRERE consists of three parts: (1) The RE process knowledge base (REPKB) which contains RE process knowledge, (2) methodologies which provide guidance to develop a customized software process model in an iterative way; and (3) assessment models which provide information about the suitability of the newly developed RE process model for the software project under development.en© 2008 IEEEConference paper00200854972008061316222810.1109/ASWEC.2008.44832400002551548000532-s2.0-5024910216239942
