Model Construction for Communication Gap of Requirements Elicitation by Stepwise Refinement
Noraini Che Pa, Abdullah Mohd Zın · International Review on Computers and Software (IRECOS) · 2013
Communication breakdown between customer and developer is one of the issues that affect the software requirements elicitation process. There are various methods currently being used to address this issue, among which are support tools, models, and techniques. However, more often than not, both parties have to move towards a solution that can help to resolve the communication problem. Previous studies have indicated the importance of effective communication in requirements elicitation. Nonetheless, communication models are not comprehensive enough to address such problems. This paper demonstrates a constructing model which would fill in the communication gap between customer and developer during the requirements elicitation process. The model covers three aspects of the communication gap (which are gaps between knowledge, expression, and medium). In addition, this model is able to guide in describing communication problems arising during the early stage of communication. Further, it can suggest ideas to prepare plans for solving any problems which may arise
