Quality Certification in Requirements Engineering
Abstract
The excellency to the quality certification is one of the organizations’ goals. In the global world, competitiveness is a survival factor in business. In the software area it is not different, either in the academic, industry, research & development or market scenery. For the Requirements Engineering (RE) the question is: How to ensure that processes and products have the quality assurance required and adjusted to the stakeholder´s priorities? The article proposal is to approach the RE processes and techniques, in the project life-cycle phases, through systematic application of a script and a checklist in the processes, to be able for validate products and to promote the quality certification in RE.
