Fan, Siew Ling (2022) Requirements engineering (RE) processes in agile projects at Malaysian software companies: a roadmap. Master dissertation/thesis, UTAR.
Abstract
Requirements engineering (RE) is the engineering discipline concerned with the establishment of requirements which will form the base of the software development process. In the recent years, with the popularity of Agile methodology framework in the software industry market, to work iteratively and to accommodate for change, the traditional requirements engineering process has also evolved and geared toward the agile philosophy. This brought about changes to the requirements engineering processes such as requirements elicitation, requirements analysis, requirements specification and requirements validation. This study looks into the application and challenges faced by agile software practitioners across the world, and measures them against outcome from the survey participated by software practitioners working in Malaysia software companies. Using a combination of secondary study and the survey results, a proposed roadmap is constructed to provide a guide for software practitioners in Malaysia to adopt agile requirements engineering and to mitigate those challenges highlighted from the survey. The proposed roadmap is then reviewed by software company representatives to gather insightful industry practices. Though there is limited research pertaining to agile requirements engineering in Malaysia, the results seem to suggest similarities between the challenges faced and the best practices to assist in mitigating those challenges. In adopting those best practices in the proposed roadmap, it is hoped that this can assist Malaysian agile software practitioners navigate those obstacles.
