Contextual goal modeling
Every software system is situated in a context. There is a strong relation between the requirements of a system and its context. On the one hand, the context might be considered to determine the set of requirements relevant to a system, the alternatives that can be adopted to meet these requirements, and the quality of each of such alternatives. On the other hand, the system itself may cause changes in the context to meet its requirements. Therefore, there is a mutual influence between requirements and context. Context influences user's goals and their choices to reach these goals.
Capturing this influence is essential for software meeting user’s requirements in different contexts. We develop a goal-based RE framework to model and reason about the requirements for system operating in and reflecting varying contexts. Our framework is composed of three parts: (i) a modeling language (the contextual goal model), (ii) reasoning techniques and automated support tool, (iii) a RE methodological process.
