Keyword(s): Requirements Metrics, Requirements Management, Measurement Approach.

Abstract: Large systems projects present unique challenges to the requirements measurement process: large sets of requirements across many sub-projects, requirements existing in different categories (e.g., hardware, interface, software, etc.), varying requirements meta-data items (e.g., ID, requirement type, priority, etc.), to name few. Consequently, requirements metrics are often incomplete, metrics and measurement reports are often unorganized, and meta-data items that are essential for applying the metrics are often incomplete or missing. To our knowledge, there are no published approaches for measuring requirements in large systems projects. In this paper, we propose a 7-step approach that combines the use of the goal-question-metric paradigm (GQM) and the identification and analysis of four main RE measurement elements: attributes, levels, metrics, and meta-data items—that aids in the derivation, analysis, and organization of requirements metrics. We illustrate the use of our approach by applying it to real-life data from the rail automation systems domain. We show how the approach led to a more comprehensive set of requirements metrics, improved organization and reporting of metrics, and improved consistency and completeness of requirements meta-data across projects.
