encountered on projects applying digital annotations; this will asses if the ap-
proach helps to highlight deficient documents in-place, encouraging correction at
source rather than through creation of second generation artefacts (for example,
by writing new acceptance tests). While the size of groups in this study has lim-
ited the statistical conclusions, the results presented in this paper indicate that
using annotated documents helped to identify more elements that are
Correct
with fewer
Missing
elements and
Errors
when creating acceptance tests.
Due to the applicability of this research to medical device software we would
now like to re-design this experiment so that it concerned medical device software
requirements. This work will specifically help medical device companies to ad-
dress two of the eleven areas defined by the FDA i.e. “Requirements Traceability
Analysis” and “Validation, Verification and Testing”.
