Requirements engineering process improvement: a knowledge transfer experience

ABSTRACT

In the last decade, research in requirements engineering has achieved great advances. Several methods, techniques and processes have been proposed in the literature. However, the pace of requirements engineering technology transfer has been slow. This paper presents a technology transfer project to improve the requirements engineering process in four software companies. We discuss this experience from the perspective of researchers and practitioners from one participating company.
