Thesis Title: A Use-Case-Based Methodology for Situational Method Engineering (SME)
Abstract:
After using software development methodologies for decades, developers have realized that there is no general-purpose methodology that suits every project situation. The need for project-specific methodologies has resulted in the emergence of Situational Method Engineering (SME), which is specifically concerned with the construction/adaptation of a methodology according to the specific characteristics of the project at hand. In this approach, the first step is to precisely define the project situation and methodology requirements, based on which the target methodology will then be constructed. Requirements Engineering (RE) in SME is concerned with the elicitation, specification, modeling and validation of methodology requirements, and is considered a key activity. However, unlike requirements engineering in software development, the RE methods currently practiced in SME are still immature; methodology engineering has a lot to learn from software engineering in this regard.
