Towards Complementing User Stories

Authors:

Keywords: user stories, domain models, natural language queries

Abstract:
User stories are well established in agile software development processes. However, user stories should not be seen as detailed requirements specifications. In agile processes it is accepted that the end users do not know all the requirements at once. Therefore, user stories only give hints about the expectations of an end user. In order to get more details in a communications process, a computer supported strategy is proposed in this paper. This strategy focuses on the agile development of information systems. Namely, it is proposed that additional information (not found in a user story) is extracted from natural language queries. Afterwards, this information is compared with the already existing work in progress model. Thus, the natural queries should help to find gaps and misunderstandings in the current work in progress model.
