Abstract

Ripple effects may occur in modifying software requirements. Without considering such ripple effects, errors in requirements cannot be removed in software development. In this paper, we present a ripple effect analysis method in software requirements modification for data flow requirements. This method enables to specify areas of ripple effects of data flow diagrams in deletion and/or modification of requirements. Our method will be illustrated with examples using a prototype system based on the method.
