Alunos como stakeholders virtuais no ensino de engenharia de requisitos

Abstract

The requirements engineering processes compose the early stages of a software project, where the interested parts (stakeholders) are consulted in order to identify their needs and demands for the such software. Therefore, it is necessary the existence of a professional able to survey the requirements and pass them to the team of developers in order to guide the development of the system. However, to acquire such skills it takes experience, which usually is achieved only after the individual enters in the market, once most of the requirements engineering teaching approaches applied in graduation period of information technology has focused on theory it leaves much to be desired when it comes to practical activities, as presented in literature. There at comes the teaching proposal using the students themselves as virtual stakeholders, in other words, simulating someone who has real interest in a computer system. Thus, it sought to provide the practice of requirements engineering processes, emphasizing the contact with stakeholders in a dynamic held with students of the discipline Software Requirements from the Software Engineering course of Federal University of Ceará at Quixadá. The present work introduces the whole process of literature analysis, elaboration, application and the teaching proposal evaluation.
