Final Thesis: A Metamodel for Code Systems
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 replicable. Additionally, the process is not transparent as the resulting modeling elements cannot be […]Abstract: Requirements elicitation is an important factor in software engineering.

Final Thesis: The Use of Domain Knowledge for Structuring and Describing Code Systems
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 performed interviewing eight qualitative researchers located in different […]

Final Thesis: Integrating Multiple Views In A Code System
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 requirements analysis. Our method addresses the process steps between the analysis of the […]

Final Thesis: Improving Domain Modeling And Requirements Analysis Using Grounded Theory
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 requirements specication and domain model. We consider the state-of-the-art of these aspects […]

Final Thesis: Developing a Domain Analysis Procedure based on Grounded Theory Method
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 deriving a domain model from natural language descriptions do not […]

Research Paper: Improving Traceability of Requirements through Qualitative Data Analysis
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 research methods, which have been well established in the domain of social science. Our approach […]
