Evaluation of Stimulus tool in Nokia context

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate Stimulus requirements evaluation tool. This evaluation was done at Nokia to see if the tool is suitable for Nokia’s use cases. The thesis used design science research as research method. As the research artifact requirements set was used. This requirement set was then demonstrated using Stimulus tool. The data was collected from workshops held between team from Dassault and team from Nokia. The participants in these workshops were software engineers and requirements engineers. The result of the study was that Stimulus had a good number of useful features but also issues were found. Further evaluation of the tool is needed to determine whether all the issues can be fixed to make the tool suitable for Nokia.
