Abstract
Most artifacts developed during the requirements engineering process relate themselves in different ways. In order to understand in detail how they affect each other during the software development process, it is relevant to identify their interdependencies. This paper presents a systematization of the existing interdependencies between the different elements of the Rational Unified Process (RUP) in the Business Modeling and Requirements disciplines. This work, which highlights knowledge about the different interdependencies and traceability of RUP elements, is useful to avoid unconscious decisions during software the development process and also, to detect potential problems due to the violation of the existing interdependencies.
