Supporting Requirements Engineering Research that Industry Needs: The Naming the Pain in Requirements Engineering Initiative
Daniel Méndez Fernández
In light of the 40th jubilee of Requirements Engineering (RE), roughly 40 experts met in Switzerland to discuss where our discipline stands today. As of today, the common view is,…
On Evidence-based Risk Management in Requirements Engineering
Daniel Méndez Fernández, Michaela Tießler, Marcos Kalinowski +2
Background: The sensitivity of Requirements Engineering (RE) to the context makes it difficult to efficiently control problems therein, thus, hampering an effective risk management…
How do Practitioners Perceive the Relevance of Requirements Engineering Research? An Ongoing Study
X. Franch, D. Méndez Fernández, M. Oriol +7
The relevance of Requirements Engineering (RE) research to practitioners is a prerequisite for problem-driven research in the area and key for a long-term dissemination of research…
A Community's Perspective on the Status and Future of Peer Review in Software Engineering
Lutz Prechelt, Daniel Graziotin, Daniel Méndez Fernández
Context: Pre-publication peer review of scientific articles is considered a key element of the research process in software engineering, yet it is often perceived as not to work fu…
Requirements Engineering Practice and Problems in Agile Projects: Results from an International Survey
Stefan Wagner, Daniel Méndez Fernández, Michael Felderer +1
Requirements engineering (RE) is considerably different in agile development than in more traditional development processes. Yet, there is little empirical knowledge on the state o…
Does Quality of Requirements Specifications matter? Combined Results of Two Empirical Studies
Jakob Mund, Henning Femmer, Daniel Méndez Fernández +1
Background: Requirements Engineering is crucial for project success, and to this end, many measures for quality assurance of the software requirements specification (SRS) have been…
Lessons Learnt in Conducting Survey Research
Marco Torchiano, Daniel Méndez Fernández, Guilherme Horta Travassos +1
Context: Surveys constitute an valuable tool to capture a large-scale snapshot of the state of the practice. Apparently trivial to adopt, surveys hide, however, several pitfalls th…
On the Use of Variability Operations in the V-Modell XT Software Process Line
Marco Kuhrmann, Daniel Méndez Fernández, Thomas Ternité
Software process lines provide a systematic approach to develop and manage software processes. It defines a reference process containing general process assets, whereas a well-defi…
From Pragmatic to Systematic Software Process Improvement: An Evaluated Approach
Marco Kuhrmann, Daniel Méndez Fernández
Software processes improvement (SPI) is a challenging task, as many different stakeholders, project settings, and contexts and goals need to be considered. SPI projects are often o…
Supporting Defect Causal Analysis in Practice with Cross-Company Data on Causes of Requirements Engineering Problems
Marcos Kalinowski, Pablo Curty, Aline Paes +5
[Context] Defect Causal Analysis (DCA) represents an efficient practice to improve software processes. While knowledge on cause-effect relations is helpful to support DCA, collecti…
Where do we stand in requirements engineering improvement today? First results from a mapping study
Daniel Méndez Fernández, Saahil Ognawala, Stefan Wagner +1
Context: Requirements engineering process improvement (REPI) approaches have gained much attention in research and practice. Goal: So far, there is no comprehensive view on the res…
