Requirements in the 21st Century: Current Practice and Emerging Trends

  • Conference paper
Design Requirements Engineering: A Ten-Year Perspective

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing ((LNBIP,volume 14))

Abstract

Requirements have remained one of the grand challenges in the design of software intensive systems. In this paper we review the main strands of requirements research over the past two decades and identify persistent and new challenges. Based on a field study that involved interviews of over 30 leading IT professionals involved in large and complex software design and implementation initiatives, we review the current state-of-the-art in the practice of design requirements management. We observe significant progress in the deployment of modeling methods, tools, risk-driven design, and user involvement. We note nine emerging themes and challenges in the requirement management arena: 1) business process focus, 2) systems transparency, 3) integration focus, 4) distributed requirements, 5) layered requirements, 6) criticality of information architectures, 7) increased deployment of COTS and software components, 8) design fluidity and 9) interdependent complexity. Several research challenges and new avenues for research are noted in the discovery, specification, and validation of requirements in light of these requirements features.

This research was funded by NSF Research Grant No. CCF0613606. The opinions expressed are those of the researchers.
