Abstract: Today we have a great technological development in many fields and this have made an impact on computer systems and their design. For my thesis I am interested to see a concrete example of how anorganization prepares and developtheir computer system. I will evaluate the requirement specification for the Svenska Kärnbränslehantering AB to see how it was created. I analyzed the process of creating new requirements for the new computer system GADD with autonomous analysis, the analysis is made by the tool EthXpert. The conclusion I can make from this thesis is autonomous analysis gave us a good understanding of how a computer system should be like, how decisions are made for designing them. Even do we analyze a part of a whole network of stakeholders we received useful answers. I think autonomous analysis works for design decisions as long we can verify our answers we received. Our analysis is built on the knowledge from among other things the requirement specification andthe requirement specification is based and made of interviews from the stakeholders. Regarding the major difference I discovered between Design rationaleand autonomy analysis is where and when the argument for a design is presented and discovered. With Design rationalethe argument is already presented while in autonomy analysis the argument will be found in the analysis and therefore new solution is possible to be found.
