Abstract
Writing good requirements is difficult. Authors of requirements specifications need to acquire specific habits and professional writing styles to avoid ambiguities. However, gaining and sharing related experience and abilities is challenging. Heuristic Critiques offer help in this situation. Experience on writing good requirements can be codified as heuristic critiques. When integrated in a requirements tool, a heuristic critique can automatically check requirements specifications and provide constructive feedback (critique), whenever a piece of experience is applicable. Observing this feedback helps requirements authors to transfer experience in writing, and internalize it. In this paper we describe the concept of learning to write better requirements through heuristic critiques - both, on an individual level and on an organizational level. The proposed concept has been applied in several dedicated requirements support tools; it can also be used to improve existing tools and methods.
