A Review and Comparison of the Traditional Collaborative and Online Collaborative Techniques for Requirement Elicitation

Requirement elicitation is one of the major phases of the software development life cycle. As per authors knowledge, among many reviews, there is no review available on a comparison between Online Collaborative Requirement Engineering (OCRE) and Traditional Collaborative Requirement Engineering (TCRE) techniques. In this review paper, OCRE and TCRE techniques are reviewed in terms of research methods employed in the related research. In addition, the techniques are compared in terms of software tools used in elicitation of the requirements and the types of software developed by using these techniques. The advantages and disadvantages mentioned in the literature are also highlighted in this research. The relevant papers were selected in a systematic way and data is extracted into the excel files for analysis. The results revealed some interesting findings like the most important techniques in both OCRE and TCRE are literature review followed by experimentation
