NASCIMENTO, Rafael et al. Towards Refactoring-Based Techniques to resolve Requirements Smells. RISTI [online]. 2024, n.55, pp.110-123.  Epub 30-Sep-2024. ISSN 1646-9895.  https://doi.org/10.17013/risti.55.110-123.

Natural Language Requirements Specification is the most common type of documentation used in systems development. However, Natural Language, due to poor writing, can generate ambiguity and other defects that end up compromising Quality Criteria of requirements such as understanding, clarity, completeness and others. Requirements Smells are writing problems in the Natural Language Requirements specification. However, there are no studies on systematic ways to correct Requirements Smells and guarantee the Requirements Quality. The objective of this work consists in the development of Refactoring to correct symptoms of Requirements Smells and guarantee the Quality Criteria. The Refactoring Techniques were developed following the model proposed by Martin Fowler for code refactoring. It is expected that the use of Refactoring Techniques can be effective, bringing several benefits such as the quality improvement.

Palabras clave : Requirements Natural Language; Requirements Smells; Refactoring; Requirement’s Quality.
