Commercial off the shelf software can save development time and money
if you can find a package that meets your customer's needs. The
authors propose a model for matching COTS product features with
user requirements. To support requirements acquisition for selecting
commercial off the shelf products, we propose a method we used recently
for selecting a complex COTS software system that had to comply
with over 130 customer requirements. The lessons we learned from
that experience refined our design of PORE (procurement oriented
requirements engineering), a template based method for requirements
acquisition. We report 11 of these lessons, with particular focus
on the typical problems that arose and solutions to avoid them in
the future. These solutions, we believe, extend state of the art
requirements acquisition techniques to the component based software
engineering process
