Abstract:
The lack of quality results in the development of information systems is certainly a good reason to justify the presentation of new research proposals, especially those that address the most critical areas of that process, such as the requirements specification task. In this paper, we describe how linguistic patterns can be used to improve the quality of requirements specifications, using them as the basis for a new requirements specification language, called ProjectIT-RSL, and how a series of validation mechanisms can be applied to guarantee the consistency and correctness of the written requirements with the syntactic and semantic rules of the language.
