Abstract Text The classical notion of requirements quality is problematic in practice. Hence the importance of some qualities, in particular completeness and unambiguity, has to be rethought. Scenarios, the description of requirements as sequences of interactions, prove to be a key concept for writing requirements specifications that are oriented towards such a modified set of qualities. In this paper, the potential of scenarios for improving the quality of requirements is discussed. Furthermore, a concept for systematically representing both single scenarios and the structure and relationships in a set of scenarios is presented. Using an example, the positive impact of this style of representation on the quality of the requirements is demonstrated.
