realistic goals if they want to meet commitments in
application development. As a consequence, at early
stages they prioritize requirements. However,
requirements do change. The effect of change forces
the stakeholders to balance alternatives and reprioritize
requirements accordingly. In this paper we
discuss the problem of priorities to non-functional
requirements subjected to change. We, then, propose
an approach to help smooth the impact of such
changes. Our approach favors the translation of nonoperational specifications into operational definitions
that can be evaluated once the system is developed. It
uses the goal-question-metric method as the major
support to decompose non-operational specifications
into operational ones. We claim that the effort invested
in operationalizing NFRs helps dealing with changing
requirements during system development. Based on
this transformation and in our experience, we provide
guidelines to prioritize volatile non-functional
requirements. | Item Type: | Conference or Workshop Paper (Full Paper, Talk) |
