Software requirements patterns and meta model: a strategy for enhancing Requirements Reuse (RR)

Reuse is a fundamental activity in software development lifecycle, which can be employed at any stage of development. Reuse of software artefacts, such as requirements, architectures, models, test cases among others, improves software quality and productivity. Because of its higher level of abstract...

description Reuse is a fundamental activity in software development lifecycle, which can be employed at any stage of development.

A number of RR approaches are reported in the literature. These include domain-specific, pattern-based, ontology-based and general approaches.
