Requirements Validation Through Scenario Generation and Comparison
Requirements modeling, simulation, scenarios
When designing systems, we must solve many problems associated with the correct
definition of system requirements, correct understanding, and proper
implementation. Finding that design or implementation contains an error or is
incomplete, and identifying where a change needs to be made, are different issues
that require different approaches. Models and diagrams, often diagrams from the
UML language, are used to capture the system's requirements and basic design. The
basic ones include the domain model, use case diagram, activity diagram, and
scenario models. Scenarios show the communication and cooperation of objects in
solving the use case under specific conditions. If the system is implemented
following the design, it is possible to generate scenarios at runtime (either
actual implementations or using simulation models). Thus, we can have assumed
scenarios of the behavior of the investigated use case and actual scenarios
reflecting the performed design. In many cases, it is not useful to have
a detailed view of the entire communication between objects. However, it is
enough to focus on specific parts, such as messages, or states of objects. In
this paper, we will focus on detecting discrepancies between expected and actual
behavior and quickly identifying the location of the problem through scenarios.
