This article provides an overview of the importance of requirements gathering in secure software development. It explains the crucial role of Requirements Engineers in defining and understanding the customer's needs and desires, as well as…
In the recent years, machine learning has made great advancements that have been at the root of many breakthroughs in different application domains. However, it is still an open issue how make them applicable to high-stakes or…
Requirements engineering is crucial to software development but lacks a precise definition of its fundamental concepts. Even the basic definitions in the literature and in industry standards are often vague and verbose. To remedy this…
Requirements volatility is a major issue in software development, causing problems such as higher defect density, project delays and cost overruns. Software architecture that guides the overall vision of software product, is one of the…
At our behest or otherwise, while our software is being executed, a huge variety of design assumptions is continuously matched with the truth of the current condition. While standards and tools exist to express and verify some of these…
Many in the Scientific Computing Software community believe that upfront requirements are impossible, or at least infeasible. This paper shows requirements are feasible with the following: i) an appropriate perspective ("faking" the final…
The main problems of Software Engineering appear as a result of incompatibilities. For example, the quality of organization of the production process depends on correspondence with existent resources and on a common understanding of project…
Software has always been considered as malleable. Changes to software requirements are inevitable during the development process. Despite many software engineering advances over several decades, requirements changes are a source of project…
We present our ongoing work on requirements specification and analysis for the geographically distributed software and systems. Developing software and systems within/for different countries or states or even within/for different…
Requirement Analysis is an important phase in software development which deals with understanding the customers requirements. It includes the collection of information from the customer, which is regarding the customers requirements and…
Popular notations for functional requirements specifications frequently ignore developers' needs, target specific development models, or require translation of requirements into tests for verification; the results can give out-of-sync or…
High-quality requirements minimize the risk of propagating defects to later stages of the software development life cycle. Achieving a sufficient level of quality is a major goal of requirements engineering. This requires a clear definition…
The overall objective of Requirements Engineering is to specify, in a systematic way, a system that satisfies the expectations of its stakeholders. Despite tremendous effort in the field, recent studies demonstrate this is objective is not…
As software systems become more complex, modern software development requires more attention to human perspectives, and active participation of development teams in requirements elicitation tasks. In this context, incomplete or ambiguous…
Requirement prioritization is recognized as an important decision-making activity in requirements engineering and software development. Requirement prioritization is applied to determine which requirements should be implemented and…
Requirement engineering is a key ingredient for software development to be effective. Apart from the traditional software requirement which is not much appropriate for new emerging software such as smart handheld device based software. In…
Requirements engineering process intends to obtain software services and constraints. This process is essential to meet the customer's needs and expectations. This process includes three main activities in general. These are detecting…
Producing a good software design involves not only writing a definition that satisfies the syntax of the chosen language or structural constraints of a design paradigm. It also involves upholding a variety of expectations about the behavior…
Requirements volatility is a major issue in software (SW) development, causing problems such as project delays and cost overruns. Even though there is a considerable amount of research related to requirement volatility, the majority of it…
Changes, they use to say, are the only constant in life. Everything changes rapidly around us, and more and more key to survival is the ability to rapidly adapt to changes. This consideration applies to many aspects of our lives. Strangely…
