Being able to read and integrate state-of-the-art scientific works in the field of requirements engineering. Being able to design and write a learning module based on scientific papers. Being able to develop reflective and problem-solving assignments and exam questions. Being able to participate in a large project to develop a MOOC course. The overall approach of the course is about learning to conduct a small knowledge creation and transfer project. The course is therefore a good preparation for the MBI graduation project in the field of requirements and architecture. Topics covered this year are: User story basics, requirements elicitation Analysis of USs; syntactic and semantic quality; tooling Integration of USs in software development methods; acceptance test generation; task refinement strategies Reciprocal Twin Peaks model; RE4SA model; epics; product ontologies Note, that this course can not be taken during the first period of the MSc program. Content Software Production is the research domain that covers product development, corporate entrepreneurship, and societal implications of large scale software development in open market conditions. Requirements formulation is an essential activity during software production, for which User Stories have been adopted widely. The overall goal of this year's seminar is to develop a MOOC with corresponding book on User Stories. We will integrate current scientific knowledge on User Stories into a well-designed set of learning modules with presentations, assignments, and exams. Industrial materials and case material in various media will be included to boost the student experience. Course form The course is run as a seminar. Interactive discussions led by students, PhDs, and staff. The research project is performed individually assisted by peers. Students will present their proposals of chapters and clips, as well as their final deliverables. Exam form Various presentations. Written research reports.
