Story Based Mobile Application for Requirements Engineering Process

Abstract

Requirements engineers have been eliciting requirements using various techniques, methods and tools. This paper proposes a mobile application tool to facilitate requirements elicitation process supporting story-based technique. Conventional devices and tools used in RE process in order to gather information mostly are deploying desktop computers or notebooks. Owing to their size and less mobility feature, they are usually not brought to the work place of the stakeholders. The advancing capabilities of mobile devices and mobile tools can significantly contribute to the facilitation of RE activities. A "story based mobile application for requirements engineering process (SMAREP)" is a mobile based application tool to help requirements engineers and analysts in eliciting, documenting and validating information from stakeholders.
