Information is all you need: Requirements Engineering Quality Reframed
Henning Femmer, Julian Frattini
To move beyond this vague appeal to context, this vision proposes a novel holistic theory of requirements engineering (RE) quality. This theory models how information particles, i.…
The Software Engineering Simulations Lab: Agentic AI for RE Quality Simulations
Henning Femmer, Ivan Esau
Context and motivation. Requirements Engineering (RE) quality still lacks empirical evidence on how specific requirement defects affect downstream activities. Problem: However, emp…
Description and Comparative Analysis of QuRE: A New Industrial Requirements Quality Dataset
Henning Femmer, Frank Houdek, Max Unterbusch +1
Requirements quality is central to successful software and systems engineering. Empirical research on quality defects in natural language requirements relies heavily on datasets, i…
Which Requirements Artifact Quality Defects are Automatically Detectable? A Case Study
Henning Femmer, Michael Unterkalmsteiner, Tony Gorschek
[Context] The quality of requirements engineering artifacts, e.g. requirements specifications, is acknowledged to be an important success factor for projects. Therefore, many compa…
How Do Practitioners Interpret Conditionals in Requirements?
Jannik Fischbach, Julian Frattini, Daniel Mendez +3
Context: Conditional statements like "If A and B then C" are core elements for describing software requirements. However, there are many ways to express such conditionals in natura…
Fine-Grained Causality Extraction From Natural Language Requirements Using Recursive Neural Tensor Networks
Jannik Fischbach, Tobias Springer, Julian Frattini +3
[Context:] Causal relations (e.g., If A, then B) are prevalent in functional requirements. For various applications of AI4RE, e.g., the automatic derivation of suitable test cases…
What Makes Agile Test Artifacts Useful? An Activity-Based Quality Model from a Practitioners' Perspective
Jannik Fischbach, Henning Femmer, Daniel Mendez +2
Background: The artifacts used in Agile software testing and the reasons why these artifacts are used are fairly well-understood. However, empirical research on how Agile test arti…
How do Quantifiers Affect the Quality of Requirements?
Katharina Winter, Henning Femmer, Andreas Vogelsang
Context: Requirements quality can have a substantial impact on the effectiveness and efficiency of using requirements artifacts in a development process. Quantifiers such as "at le…
Identifying Relevant Information Cues for Vulnerability Assessment Using CVSS
Luca Allodi, Sebastian Banescu, Henning Femmer +1
The assessment of new vulnerabilities is an activity that accounts for information from several data sources and produces a `severity' score for the vulnerability. The Common Vulne…
Does Quality of Requirements Specifications matter? Combined Results of Two Empirical Studies
Jakob Mund, Henning Femmer, Daniel Méndez Fernández +1
Background: Requirements Engineering is crucial for project success, and to this end, many measures for quality assurance of the software requirements specification (SRS) have been…
Rapid quality assurance with Requirements Smells
H. Femmer, D. Méndez Fernández, S. Wagner +1
Bad requirements quality can cause expensive consequences during the software development lifecycle, especially if iterations are long and feedback comes late. %-- the faster a pro…
