Abstract
In agile methods, the communication between customer and development team is ensured by requirements, most often presented in an unstructured textual format, which frequently involves redundancy or non-precision information. This leads, in practice, to poor system quality, especially if we use classical approaches such as scenario-based approach. Yet, OOADARE approach is introduced in this way, using semi-structured text models in the form of user stories and constraint story cards (CSC), to automate the object-oriented transformation of requirements into a class diagram. However, the approach failed to capture all the elements needed to construct a correct and complete class diagram. This paper, at that point, proposes templates in natural language, which are part of the same perspectives of CSCs proposed by OOADARE, namely semi-structured text, to fill these gaps and ensure the completeness of the class diagrams thus generated.
