Software requirements elicitation is a difficult process with many existing problems, and no single elicitation method solves all these problems. We introduce a new way of looking at the requirements elicitation process. Our model shows the requirements elicitation problem as a process of merging the users’ wants and the users’ needs into the same entity. In the context of our model, existing p...

Often during the requirements engineering (RE) process, the value of a requirement is assessed, e.g., in requirement prioritisation, release planning, and trade-off analysis. In order to support these activities, this research evaluates Goal Oriented Requirements Engineering (GORE) methods for the description of a requirement’s value. Specifically, we investigate the goal-to-goal contribution r...

This paper is concerned with software requirements evolution in industrial settings. The discussion provides new insights in requirements engineering. This paper highlights the problem of empirically understanding and modelling requirements evolution.
