Requirements-Driven Software Reengineering

As illustrated by the Horseshoe model, a software reengineering process improves a software system by reverse engineering it into high-level abstractions that can be used in the forward software engineering. Unlike traditional reengineering processes that recover abstractions at the level of architectural design, here I show that more abstract descriptions can be recovered at the requirements level, as goals of the stakeholders. The recovered requirements are then used as the basis to reengineer the system. Combining them with new stakeholder requirements for the system-to-be, a high-variability architectural design can be derived.
