Objective
This trial application in software technologies aims at early experimentation of a new approach to software requirements. The main objective of the project is the management of customers expectations throughout the project (initial expectations and changes).
Two methods will be experimented on software developments:
- The method designed by professor Shiba (M.I.T and University of Tsukuba, Japan) named "Design to Market" and focused on requirements capture and management.
- The well-known QFD method. (Quality Function Deployment) designed to monitor requirements satisfaction throughout the life cycle of a product.
These two methods have already shown to be very valuable for the development of complex products and need to be adapted to the peculiarity of software development.
The project will be carried out in three main steps:
- Adaptation of the existing methods to software and definition of a common method framework.
- Experimentation on real projects.
- Exploitation and dissemination of results.
The real projects selected for the experimentation of the method are the following:
- Development of an airport information system, managed by the French Civil Aviation Direction.
- Development of an information kiosk for banking products and services, managed by the Xios Bank in Greece.
- Development of a Museum Information System (MOSAIC), managed by the National Museums of Scotland (NMS). Currently this is the largest museum-related multimedia project aimed at both visitors and televisitors.
All three projects need a tight co-operation between users and developers for the production of requirements. The fact that they belong to different sectors is expected to provide very valuable input to the deployment of the method.
The project will also benefit from the active participation of European quality organisations, such as MFQ (France) and EOQ (Europe). These organisations will provide expertise for the deployment of the method and full support through their network for the dissemination of results.
