Catálogos de características de qualidade de software : um mapeamento sistemático

Abstract

Developing quality software involves several factors, one of which is the elicitation of nonfunctional requirements (NFRs). These requirements are known for their high ease of relating to each other, positively and negatively. A common problem is the commitment of developers to satisfy certain NFRs that are harmed. Another problem is that NFRs can be interpreted in different ways by different people in different contexts. One solution found in the literature is the use of NFR catalogs, so it is important to know about existing catalogs. This work aims to understand the state of the art of existing catalogs. For this, a systematic mapping was carried out, where 102 different catalogs were found that support 86 NFRs, and that 13 are of the health domain. Among the catalogs found 50 are represented by Softgoal Interdependence Graph and half of them (25) present subcharacteristics, methods and correlations. The results provide contributions to industry (possible reduction of elicitation time using catalogs) and academic study opportunities (compare types of catalog representations).
