This paper reports the results of an action research project which studied the benets of documenting the evolution, and the rationale for the evolution, of a re- quirements specication. The benets which design explanation oers designers (as documented in the literature) suggested an investigation with a view to understand- ing the potential contribution of the IBIS (Issue Based Information System) approach. The paper reports an investigation into the use of ad hoc design explanation, in which design decisions were documented as they were made using the IBIS notation. This study nds both strengths and weaknesses in the approach. It reveals ways in which IBIS might be used more eectively and leads us to suggest a further study into the complementary use of ad hoc and post hoc design explanation approaches. |
