Experimental Evaluation of a Tool for Change Impact Prediction in Requirements Models: Design, Results and Lessons Learned
IEEE
There are commercial tools like IBM Rational RequisitePro and DOORS that support semi-automatic change impact analysis for requirements. These tools capture the requirements relations and allow tracing the paths they form. In most of these tools, relation types do not say anything about the meaning of the relations except the direction. When a change is introduced to a requirement, the requirements engineer analyzes the impact of the change in related requirements. In case semantic information…
There are commercial tools like IBM Rational RequisitePro and DOORS that support semi-automatic change impact analysis for requirements. These tools capture the requirements relations and allow tracing the paths they form. In most of these tools, relation types do not say anything about the meaning of the relations except the direction. When a change is introduced to a requirement, the requirements engineer analyzes the impact of the change in related requirements. In case semantic information is missing to determine precisely how requirements are related to each other, the requirements engineer generally has to assume the worst case dependencies based on the available syntactic information only. We developed a tool that uses formal semantics of requirements relations to support change impact analysis and prediction in requirements models. The tool TRIC (Tool for Requirements Inferencing and Consistency checking) works on models that explicitly represent requirements and the relations among them with their formal semantics. In this paper we report on the evaluation of how TRIC improves the quality of change impact predictions. A quasi-experiment is systematically designed and executed to empirically validate the impact of TRIC. We conduct the quasi-experiment with 21 master's degree students predicting change impact for five change scenarios in a real software requirements specification. The participants are assigned with Microsoft Excel, IBM RequisitePro or TRIC to perform change impact prediction for the change scenarios. It is hypothesized that using TRIC would positively impact the quality of change impact predictions. Two formal hypotheses are developed. As a result of the experiment, we are not able to reject the null hypotheses, and thus we are not able to show experimentally the effectiveness of our tool. In the paper we discuss reasons for the failure to reject the null hypotheses in the experiment.

Co-creation: Mechanisms for Importing and Exporting Technological Knowledge in Open Innovation
ECCI
As the innovation funnel converges to evolve ideas into actual business, a tendency towards closed systems behavior is evident that causes internal valuable ideas to be weeded out and external valuable ideas to be left underused. The paper presents mechanisms to overcome this natural tendency in creative problem solving processes, as well as a framework to select between these mechanisms, thus enabling better use of valuable ideas and improved innovation project performance. Through extensive…
As the innovation funnel converges to evolve ideas into actual business, a tendency towards closed systems behavior is evident that causes internal valuable ideas to be weeded out and external valuable ideas to be left underused. The paper presents mechanisms to overcome this natural tendency in creative problem solving processes, as well as a framework to select between these mechanisms, thus enabling better use of valuable ideas and improved innovation project performance. Through extensive literature study the paper presents a theoretical discussion of available mechanisms and their characteristics relevant to innovation management. From these characteristics a first decision support framework is compiled to select between the mechanisms for an innovation project to optimally import and export technological knowledge and improve innovation project performance.
