Abstract

Writing a good software requirement specification is a complex task. Many different aspects must be taken into account; most of them can only be learned through experience. Being aware of experiences and distilled best practices at the right time when writing a specification is another challenge. Experience-based requirements engineering tools make sharing and reuse of experience feasible. In this chapter, we present design principles for such tools, define a learning model to describe how organisations and individuals can learn new experiences by using them, and sketch a strategy for evaluating experience-based requirements engineering tools. We highlight these concepts with an example.
