Is Requirements-Engineering Research Delivering What It Promised?: A Review of Its Accomplishments and Opportunities After 10 Years
Bastian Tenbergen, Marian Daun · IEEE Software · 2019
In the 1990s, it was recognized that requirements engineering (RE) laid the foundation for high-quality software. Since then, a substantial research community has formed and set out to enable pract it ioners in the 21st century to systematically adopt proven strategies to solve common development challenges and to enable the engineering of innovative solutions and product features. But is contemporary RE research producing what it set out to deliver? In this article, we provide a brief overview over the accomplishments of the past 10 years and identify open opportunities.
