Abstract

For high quality of software, it should be necessary for defining and analyzing the exact requirements at the early stage of software development. But readability and understandability of most natural language requirements are inaccurate and difficult for identifying use cases. The requirements are duplicated for objects or temrs with the same meaning. To solve this problem, it should need an effective way of requirement analysis based on linguistic and semantic textual analysis. In this paper, we propose to improve a semantic analysis method adopted with a linguist Fillmore's linguistic mechanism. This method may expect to analyze easily readable and exactly understandable requirements specifications through modeling the goal oriented use cases with natural language based requirements.

고품질의 소프트웨어를 개발하기 위해서는 개발 초기단계에 정확한 요구사항 정의 및 분석이 필요하다. 그러나 대부분의 자연어 기반의 요구사항 문장 표현은 부정확성과 이해도 어려운 실정이다. 또한 요구사항은 같은 의미를 가진 객체나 용어들이 중복 식별된다. 이를 해결하기 위해 고객 요구사항을 언어학적 및 의미적 문맥 분석을 통한 효율적인 요구사항 분석 방법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 요구공학 언어학자인 Fillmore의 의미론적 분석 방법을 요구공학에 접목하고, 의미론적 분석 개선 방안을 제안한다. 이 방법은 자연어 기반의 요구사항을 Goal Oriented Use Case Modeling 통해 쉽게 읽고 이해 가능한 요구 사항 분석이 기대된다.
