What stakeholders will or will not say: A theoretical and empirical study of topic importance in Requirements Engineering elicitation interviews

作者:

Highlights:

• We identify 30 requirements elicitation Topics via interviews with IT experts.

• We test if stakeholders share elicitation Topics spontaneously during interviews.

• We draw an Elicitation Topic Map to visualize which Topics are Implicit/Explicit.

• We replicate the Elicitation Topic Map in the case of Social Network systems.

• We provide guidelines for interviews based on observations from the Topic Map.
