Inspección de escenarios

Abstract.The closeness of the scenarios with concrete situations helps clients/users and requirements engineers to develop a shared understanding of the necessities. This phenomenon is significantly increased when scenarios are built using natural language. The flexibility offered by the natural language improves the interaction of the participants in the process of requirements capture, however it adds one important difficulty when the time to validate them arrives, since the discrepancies, omissions and errors are hard to detect. On the other hand to rely on requirements as much consistent and complete as possible is a growing necessity in the current software engineering. In the present article a set of heuristics to ease the detection of errors in scenarios is proposed. These heuristics basically consist on a set of cross checks between the scenarios and the Language Extended Lexicon, and between the scenarios themselves.
