Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title>ABSTRACT</title> <p>This paper proposes a methodology to identify and prevent/control noncompliances and conflicts arisingout of requirement attribute values during requirements management. It is intended to provide a cost‐effective approach for managing noncompliances in projects that employ the requirements based engineering approach. The method involves continuous checking and monitoring of requirement attribute values using a rule‐based engine concept. This methodology can serve as an enhanced feature for any commercial requirement management application software available today (such as IBM DOORS^© and Seimens TcSE^©).The methodology offers the following advantages: <list list-type="order"><list-item id="smr1589-li-0001"><p>It enables standardization in the development and management of requirement modules.</p></list-item><list-item id="smr1589-li-0002"><p>It decreases development and maintenance cost for requirement modules by reducing the effort needed for audits, compliance checks, rework and others.</p></list-item></list> Copyright © 2013 John Wiley &amp; Sons, Ltd.</p> </abstract>
