An Empirical Framework Design to Examine the Improvement in Software Requirements through Negotiation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Negotiation is one promising effort during requirements elicitation process to improve the quality of software requirements. When negotiation is claimed beneficial theoretically, it is important that the deployment of negotiation is examined and the effectiveness of negotiation is evaluated through empirical study. This paper aims at providing an empirical framework design to examine the improvement in software requirements through negotiation. Besides, it elaborates the relevance of negotiation in requirements elicitation process and its effectiveness. An empirical study method is imposed to design the framework. The design is carefully established based the selection of population and participants, the experimental protocol, threats to validity and justification of measures.

From requirements negotiation to software architecture decisions
Architecture design and requirements negotiations are conceptually tightly related but often performed separately in real-world software development projects. As our prior case studies have revealed, this separation causes uncertainty in requirements negotiation that hinders progress, limits the success of architecture design, and often leads to wasted effort and substantial re-work later in th...
متن کاملNo Negotiation, Limited Negotiation, and Extended Negotiation in Proactive Focus on Form in Vocabulary Acquisition
Negotiation, as an interactional strategy and proactive focus on form (FoF) have received increased attention in second language research. The combination of negotiation and proactive FoF, however, has not been examined in relation to L2 vocabulary learning. To address this gap, the present study investigated how the amount of negotiation and proactive FoF impacted learners’ vocabulary knowledg...
متن کاملRequirements Negotiation: Making System Stakeholders’ Multiple-Views One
The requirements engineering activities within a software project are known to be critical to the successful production of a correctly functioning system. This is particularly so when considering the varying views of multiple stakeholders. One promising approach for improving the outcome is to introduce formal negotiation. Clearly, making the set of requirements more closely represent all the s...
متن کاملThe Impact of Stakeholders? Geographical Distribution on Managing Requirements in a Multi-Site Organization
The increasing globalization of software industry demands an investigation of Requirements Engineering (RE) in multisite software development organizations. Requirements engineering is a task difficult enough when done locally -but it is even more difficult when cross-functional stakeholder groups specify requirements across cultural, language and time zone boundaries. This paper reports on a f...
