A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF REQUIREMENT ENGINEERING PRACTICES IN AGILE MODEL

Requirement engineering practice (REP) are developed from requirement engineering processes to guide the engineers in requirement definition. Even though, the practices in agile present a few restrictions and open up several challenges to software industry, they help to address difficulties of conventional models and avert unnecessary cost. However, there are no clear-cut separation of these practices into their individual processes since the practices are closely used and the requirements are ever dynamic. Using Quasi-Gold standard to develop the search strategy and validating the same strategy by Snowballing, this study adapted Kitchenham guidelines to perform a systematic literature review towards identifying the common REP and the extent at which the REP are imbibed in software engineering. Requirement Management is the most popular practice while pre-testing is barely noticed. Eight of their associated challenges are identified and solutions discussed. REP is fully accepted in software engineering going by the annual rise in their discussions but future works is required on the detailed analysis of the root cause of these challenge.
