Metodología de gestión de requerimientos para proyectos de desarrollo de software de la Cooperativa de Ahorro y Crédito Jardín Azuayo

Abstract

Nowadays, requirements engineering methodological proposals are required, which impose a welldisciplined process on software development. This thesis analyzes the Rational Unified Process (RUP) methodology for requirements management in software development projects. It begins by explaining the RUP methodology according to different theoretical postulates, and then adapting and applying it to the Jardín Azuayo Savings and Credit Cooperative, the case study of this research. This is a descriptive field study, where a structured methodology guide was used, based on the technology transfer model of Gorschek (2006). The results show that the requirement management methodology for software development projects for the Cooperative defines a process that includes six activities, namely, analyze the problem, understand the needs of stakeholders, define the system, manage the scope of the system, refine the system definition, and manage changing requirements. It is concluded that this methodology provides a set of iterative tasks, execution guidelines and formats that define and describe the structure and contents of the artifacts to be generated, product of the execution of the activities; allowing a more efficient, predictable and adaptable software development to the needs of both service providers and end users.
