Abstract:
|
The specification phase is one of the most important and least supported
parts of the software development process. The SAREL system has been
conceived as a knowledge-based tool to improve the specification phase.
The purpose of SAREL (Assistance System for Writing Software
Specifications in Natural Language) is to assist engineers in the
creation of software specifications written in Natural Language (NL).
These documents are divided into several parts. We can distinguish the
Introduction and the Overall Description as parts that should be used in
the Knowledge Base construction. The information contained in the
Specific Requirements Section corresponds to the information represented
in the Requirements Base. In order to obtain high-quality software
requirements specification the writing norms that define the linguistic
restrictions required and the software engineering constraints related
to the quality factors have been taken into account. One of the controls
performed is the lexical analysis that verifies the words belong to the
application domain lexicon which consists of the Required and the
Extended lexicon. In this sense a synonym management process is needed
in order to get a quality software specification. The aim of this paper
is to present the synonym management process performed during the
Knowledge Base construction. Such process makes use of the Spanish
Wordnet developed inside the Eurowordnet project. This process generates
both the Required lexicon and the Extended lexicon that will be used
during the Requirements Base construction. |
