Requirements elicitation and specification

Colloque sur invitation.Formal specification techniques are not well integrated with the analysis phase of software engineering. The starting point from which the development of a formal specification should begin is not well elaborated. Often, formal specifications begin with a very short description of the system to be implemented, and detail is added during the development of the formal specification. Such a procedure does not adequately take into account the need to thoroughly analyze the system to be implemented and the environment in which it will operate before a detailed specification is developed
