Requirement Engineering Challenges in Agile Software Development

Abstract

Agile software development has large success rate due to its benefits and promising nature but natively where the size of the project is small. Requirement engineering (RE) is crucial as in each software development life cycle, “Requirements” play a vital role. Though agile provides values to customer’s business needs, changing requirement, and interaction, we also have to face impediments in agile, many of which are related to requirement challenges. This article aims to find out the challenges being faced during requirement engineering of agile projects. Many research studies have been conducted on requirement challenges which are somehow biased, no suggestions are given to improve the agile development process, and the research does not highlight large-scale agile development challenges. Hence, this article covers all the challenges discussed above and presents a comprehensive overview of agile models from requirement engineering perspective. The findings and results can be very helpful for software industry to improve development process as well as for researchers who want to work further in this direction.

Prediction based cost estimation technique in agile development

“…Is the SS method easy to implement? HQ 6 Do you think that the manager and client's relationship becomes enhanced through the SS method? HQ 7…”

“…In the last paper, we had done a comparison with the existing techniques and in a survey, we got responses from the participants regarding the estimation technique features, reliability, and accuracy to estimate efforts. However, in the extended version, we have visited software industries to apply the cost estimation technique to projects [6][7][8]. The main difference between the previous version and the extended version is, lastly we had done a survey regarding the proposed estimation technique and done a comprehensive study with the existing estimation techniques but now we have applied the proposed estimation technique to projects and found outcomes [9,10].…”

A Comparison of Recent Requirements Gathering and Management Tools in Requirements Engineering for IoT-Enabled Sustainable Cities

“…In the past years, it has been noticed that the field of software engineering is diverted towards the goal-oriented requirement engineering approach [17]. In this approach, the client and the software project developer initially agree on some goals for the modeling and analysis of the requirement.…”

Towards Building Cyberphysical Systems with Agile Architecture

“…ere are three main variants of the term agility use: (i) the use in a broad sense as a synonym of such terms as flexibility and adaptability [7], (ii) relation to the SwIS design process [8], and (3) relation to SwIS architectures [4,5]. It should be noted that the concepts of Agile Process (AP) [8,9] and AA are correlated to each other, although the mechanisms used are different. AP is a process that is focused on working with constantly changing requirements and belongs to the design stage.…”
