An Automatic Generation and Verification Method of Software Requirements Specification

Abstract

The generation of standardized requirements specification documents plays a crucial role in software processes. However, the manual composition of software requirements specifications is a laborious and time-consuming task, often leading to errors that deviate from the actual requirements. To address this issue, this paper proposes an automated method for generating requirements specifications utilizing a knowledge graph and graphviz. Furthermore, in order to overcome the limitations of the existing automated requirement generation process, such as inadequate emphasis on data information and evaluation, we enhance the traditional U/C matrix by introducing an S/U/C matrix. This novel matrix represents the outcomes of data/function systematic analysis, and verification is facilitated through the design of inspection rules. Experimental results demonstrate that the requirements specifications generated using this method achieve standardization and adherence to regulations, while the devised S/U/C inspection rules facilitate the updating and iteration of the requirements specifications.
