Multi-Cyclic Requirement Engineering for Educational and Industrial Models in Software Development
Maryam Gillani, Hafiz Adnan Niaz, Ata Ullah · 2020
In software development, requirement elicitation (RE) is quite challenging in software industry to meet the customer requirements and for successful project delivery. In educational projects, requirements are taken both in natural and formal languages. In software industry, commercially viable methods are adopted as per demands of variety of novel software architectures and practices. This paper covers perspectives of teachers, students and industrial requirement engineers in RE as per their level of understanding and practices. We have proposed bi-signaling requirement engineering model (BSRE) to engineer the requirement process. Secondly, Requirement Engineering Design Model is proposed based on the Multi-cyclic approach to overcome the gap between client and related stakeholders. We address the challenges of existing methodologies for RE elicitation, by introducing two new methods. First, the bi-signaling RE that connects requirements engineer to the stakeholders through the management of logged issues, while the requirement engineering design model iteratively elicit requirements from multiple stakeholders in multiple cycles.
