Improving Software Requirements Elicitation in Agile Environment

Requirement elicitation plays an important role during the software development life cycle. The selection of an improper requirement elicitation method will affect the quality of developed software. Agile methodologies are popular in the industry and follow an incremental approach to developing software. Agile methodologies value customer needs, interaction among teams, interaction with customers, and change management. Researchers proposed methods for requirement elicitation in agile software development. This research aims to investigate the issues faced during requirement elicitation in agile software development. We will identify the method that motivates the requirements elicitation in agile software development to meet our objective. After identifying the literature, a systematic literature review will be performed. An introductory overview, publications trends and values, strengths, and limitations will be highlighted. Based on the identified limitations, we will propose a new requirement elicitation method useful in agile software development. To evaluate the results, two teams of equal expertise were given the same project to develop. One of the teams developed using the proposed framework, and the other one did without using the proposed framework. Then, both of them were given the survey they filled out and gave their input on the requirement elicitation parameters, and the results were compared and validated using a t-test and reliability analysis.
