abstract = "Early in a software development project the developers
lack knowledge about the problem to be solved by the
software. Any knowledge that can be gained at an early
stage can reduce the risk of making erroneous decisions
and injecting defects that can be expensive to
eliminate in later phases. This paper presents the idea
of using genetic programming to explore the difficulty
of different input data in the input space, determine
the effects of different requirements and identify
design trade-offs inherent in the problem. Data from a
pilot experiment is analysed and the knowledge gained
is used to question and prioritize the requirements on
the target system. Coping with high-dimensional input
spaces and establishing the relationship between GP-
and human-developed programs are identified as the
major outstanding problems. An extended experimental
environment is proposed based on techniques for visual
database exploration.",
