Abstract

The management of requirement is as complex as there are misunderstanding between designers and end users. To tackle this complexity, we present a business rules specification framework. This approach is defined in an incremental manner. The formalism to specify business rules is first defined for the definition of the basic model, this model is then extended by various concepts for a better comprehension of requirements by both designers and users. This concept includes the notion of equivalence between business rules, refinement of business rules and business rules constraints. Having defined the model, its impact on requirement identity, sub-requirement and requirement sub division are presented.
