Yet, user stories are too often poorly written in practice and exhibit inherent quality defects. Triggered by this observation, we propose the Quality User Story (QUS) framework, a set of 13 quality criteria that user story writers should strive to conform to. Based on QUS, we present the Automatic Quality User Story Artisan (AQUSA) software tool. Relying on natural language processing (NLP) techniques, AQUSA detects quality defects and suggest possible remedies. We describe the architecture of AQUSA, its implementation, and we report on an evaluation that analyzes 1023 user stories obtained from 18 software companies. Our tool does not yet reach the ambitious 100 {\%} recall that Daniel Berry and colleagues require NLP tools for RE to achieve. However, we obtain promising results and we identify some improvements that will substantially improve recall and precision.", issn="1432-010X", doi="10.1007/s00766-016-0250-x", url="https://doi.org/10.1007/s00766-016-0250-x" }

abstract={Requirements reusability within agile development improves software quality and team productivity. One method to implement requirements reusability is traceability, in which relations and dependencies between requirements and artifacts are identified and linked. In this paper, we propose a semiautomated methodology to implement traceability in the agile development process in order to achieve requirements reusability. The main feature of our methodology is the coupling of semi-automated semantic trace generation with the outputs of the agile development process, thus facilitating requirements and artifact reuse. In contrast to previous work, this methodology is specifically designed for practical agile processes and artifacts. Our methodology will be implemented as a component within an existing open source agile tool in order to have minimal impact on the development process. This paper fills a current gap in the area of requirements reusability through traceability and contributes to the limited existing work in agile traceability methodologies.},
