RESUMO

During a software and hardware system development, in many times, there is a very opaque idea about what it will be done. In this case, the concept of Requirements Engineering (RE) was created in order to bridge the gap between what the client wishes and what will be implemented. The RE process is always highlighted on the literature as a mean to provide a non-linear decomposition of the RE which cover from an initial conception of the project to the requirements specification. Despite of studies related to the using of the RE have shown reduction of delivery time of projects and quality gain in the final products, very few have been done to justify to the client all effort until the system specification has finished. In this sense, a cost analysis of the RE process become important. However, in order to estimate a cost of the RE process, it is necessary to use an accounting system which activities are the main factor to provide an accurate analysis from them. In this case, an activity-based costing (ABC) system can provide a way to give an accounting system which is suited to the RE process. Therefore, the goal of the present work is to apply the ABC concepts to the whole RE process. The present work suggests that a well structured RE process can indicate a best actual cost estimation.
