Adaptive systems react to changes in their environment by changing their behavior. Identifying these needed adaptations is very difficult, but central to requirements elicitation for adaptive systems. As the necessary or potential adaptations are typically not obvious to the stakeholders, the problem is how to effectively elicit adaptation-relevant information. One approach is to use creativity techniques to support the systematic identification and elicitation of adaptation requirements. In particular, here, we analyze a set of creativity triggers defined for systematic exploration of potential adaptation requirements. We compare these triggers with brainstorming as a baseline in a controlled experiment with 85 master students. The results indicate that the proposed triggers are suitable for the efficient elicitation of adaptive requirements and that the 15 trigger questions produce significantly more requirements fragments than solo brainstorming.

使用创造力触发器激发适应性需求：受控实验

自适应系统通过改变其行为来对其环境的变化做出反应。确定这些所需的适应性非常困难，但对于适应性系统的需求获取至关重要。由于必要或潜在的适应通常对利益相关者来说并不明显，问题是如何有效地获取与适应相关的信息。一种方法是使用创造性技术来支持系统地识别和引出适应要求。特别是，在这里，我们分析了一组为系统探索潜在适应要求而定义的创造力触发因素。我们在对 85 名硕士生的对照实验中将这些触发因素与头脑风暴作为基线进行比较。
