An Empirical Study Identifying High Perceived Value Requirements Engineering Practices in Global Software Development Projects
نویسندگان
چکیده
Requirements-related problems are reported to be the main reason in failures of global software development (GSD) projects. There is not much work done to improve requirements practices for GSD projects. In this paper, we report results of a study conducted in an ongoing project whose aim is to develop a framework for the requirements engineering process of global software development projects. The objective of this paper is to report a recent empirical study which was aimed in identifying high perceived value RE practices in the GSD projects. We used an online survey questionnaire to collect data from 39 RE practitioners of GSD organizations. We have identified 11 frequently cited high value RE practices that should be planned and implemented in GSD projects to avoid frequently occurring requirements related problems.
