FreGsd: A Framework for Global Software Requirement Engineering

Software development nowadays is more and more using global ways of development instead of normal development environment where development occurs in one location. This paper is aimed to propose a requirement engineering framework to support Global Software Development environment with regards to all requirement engineering activities from elicitation to finally managing requirement change. Global software environment is more and more gaining better reputation in software development with better quality is resulting from developing in this environment yet with lower cost. However, failure rate developing in this environment is high due to inappropriate requirement development and management. This paper will add to the software engineering development environments discipline and many developers in GSD will benefit from it.
