Scenario-based requirements engineering

Alistair Sutcliffe

Abstract

We explain the concepts and process of scenario based requirements engineering. Definitions of scenarios are reviewed, with their informal and more formal representations, and roles in the requirements process. The relationships between scenarios, specifications and prototypes is explored, and set in the perspective of human reasoning about requirements. Methods for scenario based RE are described and one method, SCRAM, is covered in more depth. We conclude with a look forward to the future of scenario based RE and research directions.
