Modeling languages have been evaluated through empirical studies, comparisons of language grammars, and ontological analyses. In this paper we take the first approach, evaluating the expressiveness and effectiveness of Techne, a requirements modeling language, by applying it to three requirements problems from the literature. We use our experiences to propose a number of language improvements for Techne, addressing challenges discovered during the studies. This work presents an example evaluation of modeling language expressiveness and effectiveness through realistic case studies.
