  • An approach to evaluation of arguments in trust cases

    Publikacja

    - Rok 2008

    Trustworthiness of IT systems can be justified using the concept of a trust case. A trust case is an argument structure which encompasses justification and evidence supporting claimed properties of a system. It represents explicitly an expert's way of assessing that a certain object has certain properties. Trust cases can be developed collaboratively on the basis of evidence and justification of varying quality. They can be complex...

  • Completeness and Consistency of the System Requirement Specification

    Although the System Requirement Specification, as a first formal and detailed document, is the base for the software project in classic software methodologies, there is a noticeable problem of assuring the completeness of this document. The lack of its completeness causes uncertainty of the project foundations. This was one of motivations for agile methodologies – if the SRS cannot be easily validated, if it can change in late project...
