Requirements Engineering for Third-Party Products at the Example of the Selection of a Requirements Modelling Tool at Munich Re

The challenge of effectively selecting external third-party tools significantly influences the daily operations of numerous companies, including Munich Re. Within this context, the absence of a repeatable and pragmatic approach for the selection of suitable third-party tools emerges as a central problem. This paper introduces a potential solution in the form of a weighted and efficient requirements engineering approach, combining, and extending established methodologies.
In order to validate the suitability of this approach, it is applied to the selection of a modelling tool at Munich Re as an example. The insights gained not only illustrate the functionality of the proposed approach, but also demonstrate how it could be applied in similar contexts. The article encourages practitioners to incorporate the presented method into their own decision-making processes for third-party tools, with the expectation of systematically optimizing the decision-making process in the future.
