MindMaps na Elicitação de Requisitos: encaminhamentos para o processo de transformação de requisitos elicitados em modelos iStar

Abstract

Software development is a complex activity with stages and phases. Which allow professional design according to patterns and models that are used by the Software Engineering - SE. SE is the area of computer science that deals with the aspects of software development and defines models, patterns, cycles, and practices for the different activities, from the initial phases of specification to maintenance. These activities and phases are developed in stages starting with the highest level of abstraction - the level of approach to the customer - to a higher level of proximity to software coding. In order for the software project team to arrive at the coding phase and meet the real needs of the customer, the activities of the first step must not be neglected - this step is represented by requirements Engineering - RE. This dissertation aims to develop indications of a strategy for the process of transforming requirements elicited through the technique of MindMaps into iStar models. For the development of this research, a systematic literature review (RSL) was conducted to analyze the frequency of the use of MindMaps in the elicitation process and their transformation into more complex models. As a result of this research, in addition to RSL, proposed filters, templates and guidelines for performing the necessary referrals of transformation of requirements elicitation through the MindMaps technique into models MindMaps that already take into account the information needed to create the iStar models. It is dissertation has elicited as an important contribution to propose directions in the transformation of requirements with the MindMaps technique into iStar models through the guidelines based on the MindMaps and iStar metamodels.
