New framework HiddenLens detects and resolves hidden assumptions in software requirements

Researchers have developed HiddenLens, a novel six-layer framework that utilizes BERT and LLMs to identify and resolve hidden assumptions within software requirements. This framework aims to address the costly issue of undiscovered assumptions that can impact software architecture and testing. HiddenLens categorizes assumptions into six non-functional requirement types and generates clarification options, ultimately rewriting requirements to be explicit and testable. The system was evaluated using the newly introduced HiddenLens Corpus (HLC), outperforming baseline methods and achieving a high F1-score. AI

IMPACT This framework could improve software development by ensuring requirements are more explicit and testable, reducing downstream costs.

    HiddenLens: A Multi-Layer LLM Framework for Detecting and Resolving Hidden Assumptions in Software Requirements

    arXiv:2610.29996v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Natural-language software requirements often omit assumptions about performance, operating conditions, user behaviour, and domain constraints, affecting architecture, testing, and deployment. If undiscovered until implementation, …
