| Specification of software is fast becoming a necessity in projects of any size. As demand rises for safe, reliable software, programmers will find that in order to meet the criteria of today's software industry, proper time will need to be spent specifying and designing the system.;STORM is a software engineering tool designed for the purpose of automating as much of the requirements and specification phases as possible. The main idea of the STORM approach is to combine strong requirements writing with robust use case creation in order to expedite the process leading up to the actual design of the software. This thesis presents a description of software requirements specification as well as STORM's concepts, organizing principles, specification, design, and prototype. Also included are examples of the tool's use, a comparison between STORM and other, similar CASE tools, and an assessment on how far STORM has come and how far STORM has yet to go. |
