Formalized specification of functional requirements
Abstract With the increasig use of the computer as a design aid, the need for new software products is increasing rapidly. Computer aids for the conceptual phase of the design process are now emerging. A basic problem in making design aids for this phase is to formulate the functional requirements in a way suitable for computer processing. In this paper, an approach to solving this task is presented. These functional requirements (FRs) are formulated as a set of verb-noun pairs. A thesaurus will define the set of verbs and nouns applicable in the definitions of the FRs and a synonym table will be available, to aid the user in finding appropriate words within the thesaurus. For further processing of the FRs a classification system for verbs and nouns is proposed. The classification is based on object oriented programming languages.
