Uma linha de processo de software para elicitação de requisitos baseada na criatividade combinacional

Abstract

The need for innovation and appreciation of creative solutions has driven requirements engineering researchers to investigate creativity techniques to elicit useful and unique requirements. Such techniques are based on the combination of ideas (requirements, words or problems) that generally come from di erent sources and are carried out in a process that involves di erent roles. However, how can we identify the common core and which variations can be adapted to the organizational context where the technique will be used? This article presents a Software Process Line (SPrL) to elicit requirements based on combinational creativity. This SPrL represents commonalities and variabilities found in some combinational creativity techniques thereby it helps teams to de ne the combinational technique according their organizational context. We validate this approach by discussing how the SPrL complies with the related works' major features and how it generalizes three techniques that have already been used in experimental studies, producing satisfactory results
