Abstract

Despite noble intentions, new technologies may have adverse effects on the resilience of the sociotechnical systems into which they are integrated. Our objective was to develop a lightweight method to elicit requirements that, if implemented, would support sociotechnical system resilience. We developed and piloted the Resilience-Aware Development Exercise Protocol (RAD-XP), a method to generate tabletop exercises (TTXs) to elicit resilience requirements. In the pilot study, this approach generated 15 requirements from a one-hour TTX, where the majority of requirements were found to support resilience. Participants indicated via survey that RAD-XP was effective and efficient, and that they would want to use RAD-XP regularly throughout the agile development process. We discuss future research and development to refine this approach to eliciting resilience requirements.
