The Reinforcement Pedagogical Pattern for Industrial Training

© 2008 IEEEIndustrial training imposes some unique restrictions on pedagogical methods, both in terms of ascertaining retention, fostering class participation, and reinforcement. The Reinforcement pedagogical pattern has now been used successfully in training courses and workshops at Siemens AG with positive results. This brief paper describing the Reinforcement pattern explains the rationale for the pattern and its use. Finally our experience of using the pattern in teaching foundation and advanced requirements engineering courses are described

Scaling up requirements engineering–exploring the challenges of increasing size and complexity in market-driven software development

[Context & motivation] Growing software companies with increasing product complexity face the issue of how to scale up their Requirements Engineering (RE) practices. In market-driven requirements engineering, release planning and scoping decisions are increasingly challenging as the size and complexity increases. [Problem] This paper presents initial results of an on-going exploratory, qualitative investigation of three market-driven, industrial cases with the objective of increasing our understanding of challenges in scaling up requirements engineering and how these challenges are addressed by the studied companies. [Results] Through 13 interviews in three companies, requirements engineering scalability issues are explored related to scoping and the structure of RE artifacts. [Contribution] The main contribution are findings related to increasing RE scale based on interpretations of the experienced interviewees’ views
