The ever-increasing user needs entail constantly modifying/extending existing software applications. However, the effort and cost required to satisfy the new user- needs usually control the decisions made in software industry. Thus the need for developing stable software applications has emerged. These stable applications should be less expensive to extend and require less effort and time to develop/test. Since the new demanded user needs make the existing application unstable, the stability treatment should start at the requirements level. Thus, a goal driven requirements analysis method (GOPCSD) has been adopted to develop stable applications. This goal driven requirements analysis method has a well defined path for correcting the requirements and tracing the user needs to the formal specification and implementation levels. This controls the effort required to maintain the applications. Furthermore, the requirements reuse and automatic code-generation concepts used in the GOPCSD method support developing stable software applications.
