Abstract
Requirements engineering is the process of eliciting stakeholder needs and desires and developing them into an agreed set of detailed requirements that can serve as a basis for all other subsequent development activities. In order to structure this field, we identified in 1993 three key dimensions which drive the requirements engineering (RE) process, namely, the specification, the representation, and the agreement dimension. In this chapter, we revisit the three dimensions of RE and sketch their evolution into our comprehensive RE framework in the past 20 years.
