A Complete Guide to Effective Requirement Elicitation

Requirement engineering(RE) is one of the process in software engineering, plays a vital role in ensuring the overall success of software projects. Requirement Elicitation is the first phase of requirement engineering and deals with seeking, uncovering, acquiring, requirements for software systems. Requirement elicitation is considered to be a complex and vital activity in RE. A sound requirement elicitation process is the foundation for the overall quality of software product. The objective of this book is to investigate a theoretically sound and practically feasible framework which can provide constructive and productive solutions to the problems identified by combining the theories and technologies of requirement engineering especially requirement elicitation. In this book ,framework for requirement elicitation is proposed which supports elicitor to understand and select methods for requirement elicitation and also addresses core problem areas of requirement elicitation, pre-domain development, stakeholders management, selection of elicitation technique and requirement prioritization as post elicitation step, that were identified as lacking and needed guidance and support.
