A Requirements Elicitation Tool for Document Migration of Enterprise Content Management Systems

Abstract: Requirements Engineering (RE) is the area of Software Engineering that deals with finding, analysing, and structuring requirements from stakeholders of a project. Requirements Elicitation (RL) constitutes arguably the most crucial activities of Requirements Engineering. It is concerned with collecting, searching for, and elaborating requirements from stakeholders. The aim of this work is to provide a RL tool to improve the quality of requirements by enabling increased user participation, easing the effects of time constraints, and providing a common recording medium. The subject area selected for this thesis implementation is the elicitation for migrating physical documents into an ECM system that is being built. Requirements Interchange Format (ReqIF) is used as the underlying data model to rely on a solid standard. AJAX technologies and several JavaScript libraries are used together to create a smooth User Interface.
