Organizations’ business processes need to be adapted in response to changing internal and external environments, which are becoming increasingly complex. We target in this research work the exploitation of a software capability profile based on requirements engineering and enterprise architecture to respond to stakeholder requirements and efficiently reuse existing technical solutions. We propose in this work an exploitation methodology based on the alignment of enterprise architecture actions with a requirement engineering process. These latter evolve together helping to investigate the highest compatibility of the desired functionalities and their related constraints. Our contribution aims to produce a ready-to-use application based on the defined requirements and the selected software capability profiles for accelerating business application development. Implementation and a case study are proposed to demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach.
