Title
Could an Agile Requirements Analysis Be Automated?--Lessons Learned from the Successful Overhauling of an Industrial Automation System
Abstract
This paper sketches a recent successful requirements analysis of a complex industrial automation system that mainly required a talented expert, with a beginner's mind, who has been willing to dig into the domain details together with a committed customer and a motivated team. With these key factors and the application of an appropriate combination of well-established and some newer methods and tools, we were able to efficiently elicit, refine, and validate requirements. From this specific context, we try to derive implications for innovative requirements analysis. We argue that in projects that go beyond simple, well defined, and well understood applications, automated requirements analysis is unlikely to lead to a successful specification of a system.
