Requirements elicitation is an important phase of the requirement engineering process. A complete and accurate collection of user requirement can reach to the success of the project. This paper studied and discussed the success factors of requirements elicitation task. First, some important previous works related to the requirement elicitation process are presented. Then, the researchers extract a list of most effective success factors of the requirement elicitation. A new list of the collected success factors is proposed that includes two dimensions; success factors should be considered before beginning the requirement elicitation process, and success factors should be considered during the process.

Abstract


Requirements elicitation is an important phase of the requirement engineering process. A complete and accurate collection of user requirement can reach to the success of the project. This paper studied and discussed the success factors of requirements elicitation task. First, some important previous works related to the requirement elicitation process are presented. Then, the researchers extract a list of most effective success factors of the requirement elicitation. A new list of the collected success factors is proposed that includes two dimensions; success factors should be considered before beginning the requirement elicitation process, and success factors should be considered during the process.
