Abstract

This paper presents a method called AGOTRFR, i.e., an attributed goal oriented testing requirements elicitation from functional requirements. The objective of this method is twofold: (i) to elicit the testing requirements from functional requirements; and (ii) to manage the requirements change process. Therefore, two attributes are attached with the AGOTRFR graph. One attribute is used to indicate the priority of the functional requirements and the other is used to indicate the implementation status of the requirements during the requirements change process. To compute the priority of the functional requirements we used the analytic hierarchy process. During the computation of the priority, cost and effort are considered as the criteria during pair-wise comparisons among the requirements. Finally, the proposed method is demonstrated with the help of an example.
