Requirement Engineering is the branch of science that aims to make system requirements clear and understandable so that they reflect the actual needs of the customers. It is a multidisciplinary approach which encompasses other fields also like the social and cognitive sciences to endow with theoretical grounds, practical knowledge and techniques for requirements elicitation and analysis. Requir...

The purpose of this paper is to describe a methodology for requirements elicitation of traditional higher educational environments in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of the critical processes of this application domain. Such an understanding might be instrumental in the strategic planning and the realizing of e-learning implementations that are both successful in achieving learning ...

A very large part of the business world today still uses traditional structured approach to the requirements gathering. On the technology side, extensive development has been-done in the area of Object-Oriented technologies that provides for productivity and quality through reusability, encourages team work and adopts a modular approach. Since the quality of the Object-Oriented applications has...

Requirements engineering for web applications entails new demands, compared to traditional software applications. This paper proposes a mockup-driven fastprototyping methodology to help elicit and finalize system requirements, as well as facilitate adjustments to quickly changing user requirements typical of web applications. This strategy minimizes the risk of wasting valuable development effo...

Requirements engineering (RE) is concerned with the elicitation of requirements from users (stakeholders), analysis of these requirements and the generation of a coherent specification for downstream software engineering processes. Present-day RE projects typically involve large, diverse and distributed groups of stakeholders, who specify their requirements mostly using informal notation. In th...

Improvements in requirements traceability (RT) are essential for developing better quality software systems. Based upon empirical investigations with practitioners, and an extensive survey of techniques and tool support for requirements engineering (RE), we explain why conventional RT can only support limited improvements in quality, and suggest extensions required to provide further improvemen...

The requirements elicitation is reported in the literature as essential to the success of software development projects. The existence of requirements patterns aimed at not only improving the quality of requirements specifications, but also the reuse of successful solutions of previous experience in new projects. In this paper, we present the results of a systematic literature mapping on requir...

RE-Views Analyzes Requirements Prior to Modeling Numerous stakeholders collaborate to develop system requirements for a complex system. They conceive needs, evaluate risk, cost and benefits, identify tradeoffs, and negotiate priorities over a long period of time. Govemment and industry need a structured approach to requirements elicitation that supports this collaborative effort. Automated supp...
