Solid requirements engineering has increasingly been recognized as the key to improved,
on-time, and on-budget delivery of software and systems projects. New software tools are …

This paper proposes a two-step approach to identifying ambiguities in natural language (NL)
requirements specifications (RSs). In the first step, a tool would apply a set of ambiguity …

Natural language is the most used representation for stating requirements on computer-
based systems in industry. However, natural language is inherently ambiguous. Customers …

This paper presents Circe, an environment for the analysis of natural language
requirements. Circe is first presented in terms of its architecture, based on a transformational …

We propose a modeling language for non-functional requirements (NFRs) that views NFRs
as requirements over qualities, mapping a software-related domain to a quality space. The …

The items on the private check list are specific problems involving the correct use of the
natural language in which the RS is written. It includes incorrect grammar, incorrect word …

Literature tends to discuss software (and system) requirements quality control, which
includes validation and verification, as a heterogeneous process using a great variety of …

This paper describes an extension to the natural language requirements specification
quality model that is the basis for the QuARS (Quality Analyzer of Requirements …

Writing a requirements specification (RS) in natural language (NL) requires dealing with the
inherent ambiguity of the NL. Any RS with words all, any, and, or, and/or, but, unless, if, only …
