Abstract: Globalization of Applications is not a new problem to which there is an immensive amount of solutions. But with increasing popularity of the internet, the increasing amount of web technologies, the growing speed of web development and thereof more and more web applications arises the need ...

Abstract: QDAcity ist eine Webanwendung zur Unterstützung der qualitativen Datenanalyse (QDA) von Text-Daten. Bei der qualitativen Datenanalyse geht es darum Informationen und Zusammenhänge aus unstrukturierten Daten wie Interviewtranskriptionen zu gewinnen. Ein wichtiger Prozess bei der QDA ist die...

Abstract: The cloud-based QDAcity platform allows to conduct collaborative research projects applying Qualitative Data Analysis methods and research validation through crowdsourcing. When using Qualitative Data Analysis as a research method, expressive measurements of the quality and maturity of the...

Abstract: Qualitative Data Analysis (QDA) methods are based on manual coding of texts. To extract a domain model from a text corpus using QDA, information has to be extracted and compiled into the domain model by hand. This is especially a problem for cases where large amounts of data have to be ana...

Abstract: Requirements elicitation is an important factor in software engineering. Mainly the information needed is elicited through interviews and other qualitative sources. The analysis that follows is often an ad-hoc process that relies on expertise of the analyst(s) and therefore is hardly repli...

Abstract: Domain knowledge is a widely used but seldom defined term in research. Since every research project is located in at least one dedicated domain, its influence to the research work seems to be natural but is not investigated, especially not for qualitative research. An exploratory study was...

Abstract: Mature requirements engineering is one of the key success factors of professional software development. This thesis proposes an approach that adapts core principles of qualitative data analysis, which is well established in social science, and transforms them into a holistic method for req...

Abstract: One of the key factors of the success of professional software development is mature requirements engineering. This thesis focuses on the elicitation and analysis of requirements and addresses the process steps between the elicitation of requirements and the gathering of the system require...

Abstract: Domain analysis is the process of analyzing and modelling the domain in which a future software system is supposed to operate. It is an essential step in requirements engineering (RE) and therefore critical for the success of software development projects. However, common methods for deriv...

Abstract: Traceability is an important quality aspect in modern software development. It facilitates the documentation of decisions and helps identifying conflicts regarding the conformity of one artifact to another. We propose a new approach to requirements engineering that utilizes qualitative res...
