Goal based Tailoring of Quality Models for Quality Requirements

Context and motivation: Elicit mean to gather, acquire or to extract while requirements elicitation mean to gather or discover requirements. The activity is performed to determine the system requirements from stakeholders, system documents, domain knowledge and from other requirements sources. Question/problem: Requirements engineering is the most important part for a successful software system because here we come to a decision, ‘what’ is going to be built. Wrong decisions during this phase will have negative impact on the final product. Idea: The objective is to develop better understanding of requirements. In the start of requirements engineering process we have only few requirements (along with system vision statements) but at the end of this activity most of the requirements or in ideal scenarios all requirements need to be known at the appropriate level. The idea is to propose an integrative goal-quality model for requirements. The success of software product is highly dependent on Non-functional Requirements (NFR). In this paper an integrative goal model of influencing factors is presented. This helps to guide the tailoring of software quality model which is based on various project requirements, organizational needs, individual goals of developers and constraints of the environment. Contribution: The influencing factors help to integrate goal model to quality model and therefore helps in a systematic elicitation of project specific requirements.
