Review on Agile requirements engineering challenges

Abstract

The popularity of agile methodology has been increased since agile offers further collaboration. Requirements engineering (RE) is one of the software development process in agile approaches. The features of face to face communication is one of agile way which unlike to other traditional software methods. Software developers are using the definition agile way to improve the agile way of activities. Besides, the challenge of dealing with RE practices is not much is known in agile way or model. However, many literature works have been done in RE in agile approaches and challenges faced by teamwork. The aim of this paper is to fill the gap by presenting RE practices in agile methodology also the challenges of RE activities which are faced by agile team members. 80 systematic literature reviews are conducted and 22 research papers are identified. Moreover, the reviews discuss RE in agile methodology approaches. This paper has adopted a systematic literature review and has applied a certain inclusion and exclusion criteria to detect the research studies related to RE in agile methodology to achieve the aim of this research. This research determined most of agile requirements engineering activities, also challenges of requirements engineering in agile methodology. Therefore, the research findings can be a reference to all researchers who are interested in this research area because the paper's findings clarify that RE in agile methodology need to have further attention by researchers and more practical results are needed to gain understandable information about RE practices in Agile methodology.
