# Object-oriented requirements: reusable, understandable, verifiable

## TL;DR

This paper advocates applying object-oriented principles to requirements engineering to enhance reusability, understandability, and verifiability, supported by an online library of reusable templates to promote a unified approach.

## Contribution

It introduces an object-oriented approach to requirements and provides an online library of reusable templates as practical tools.

## Key findings

- Object-oriented thinking improves requirement qualities
- Reusable templates facilitate requirements reuse
- Unified treatment enhances understandability and verifiability

## Abstract

Insufficient requirements reusability, understandability and verifiability jeopardize software projects. Empirical studies show little success in improving these qualities separately. Applying object-oriented thinking to requirements leads to their unified treatment. An online library of reusable requirement templates implements recurring requirement structures, offering a starting point for practicing the unified approach.
