Abstract:
This paper presents GERSE, a guide to requirements elicitation for embedded systems – GERSE is a Portuguese acronym to Guia de Elicitação de Requisitos para Sistemas Embarcados. Despite the advances in the area of embedded systems, there is a shortage of requirements elicitation techniques that meet the particularities of this segment. The contribution of GERSE is to improve the capturing process and organization of the embedded systems requirements. The proposed guide was based on a field research with Brazilian developers to find out the state of practice in embedded systems requirements. GERSE had been tested in a case study and had been evaluated by embedded systems engineers. A tool called ZAKI was developed to support GERSE and is also presented in this paper.
