An Enhanced Wiki for Requirements Engineering

The high number of unsuccessful IT projects, due to the inconsistent and ambiguous requirements specifications, justifies the proposal of new socio-technical approaches to overcome these software quality issues. To address these problems it is required a platform that simultaneously enforces Requirements Engineering best practices, fosters stakeholders´ participation, and supports requirements negotiation and management. In this paper, we present the rationale and design of an enhanced Wiki for dealing with Requirements Engineering aspects, according to a CSCW approach. Moreover, we discuss the benefits of this Wiki-based solution in the broader context of ProjectIT initiative, and how it can leverage the quality and rigor of requirements specifications through its integration with CASE tools.
