Abstract
It is unlikely that a single analysis model will be able to analyze the requirements for the complete system. For capturing and analyzing the overall requirement separate models and analyst experts are needed. It is necessary to model at different level of abstraction so that both domain experts and developers can get an idea of the overall system behavior or focus on a particular part of the system in detail if required. This paper proposes a methodology, which is an improved process for requirements gathering and analysis. The proposed methodology is based on model-based techniques to provide a specific model for the type of requirements to be gathered. This methodology also provides domain-based technique, for providing a domain specific goal model for domain experts. The domain specific technique also provides multiple level of analysis and refinement process of goal in all domains by specific domain experts.
