1. A computer-implemented method for automatic derivation of software engineering artifacts with attributes related to technical boundary condition of products or services, the method comprising:
receiving technical boundary conditions;
classifying the technical boundary conditions and mapping the technical boundary conditions to technical requirements with an automated software-based process;
classifying the technical requirements in requirement types;
mapping the technical requirements to engineering artifacts by an automated software-based process;
wherein the engineering artifacts contain specific information items and quantitative data; and
wherein mapping of technical requirements to engineering artifacts defines a minimum quality level for the artifacts based on the requirement types;
evaluating the mapping results based on software metrics;
mapping the calculated engineering artifacts to responsibilities;
adapting the classification of the technical boundary conditions based on the evaluation results in iterations;
providing a distribution calculation of all possible classifications based on a calculation of a multi-selection in technical boundary taxa and a calculation of distribution and quartiles; and
providing the calculation results.
