We have explored such prioritisation with an organisation consisting of several business units appearing as stakeholders that compete for the same development resources. The challenge lay in taking objective factors like the cost-benefit ratio and technical dependencies of the requests into account while creating a high level of stakeholder satisfaction with the defined release scope. Together with the organisation, we have designed and implemented a tailored method that uses the stakeholders’ satisfaction as a structured means for validating the criteria-based prioritisation results. The paper extends prior work by taking the perspective of the organisational stakeholders and describing the method design from the organisation’s perspective, reports the use of the method in the organisation, and summarises the lessons learned from using the method in the organisation. The results are useful to increase the maturity of prioritisation in industrialpractice.","PeriodicalId":440285,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 29th International Requirements Engineering Conference (RE)","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125121015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the lack of a widely adopted user story template, covering benefit and the usage (or not) of a persona, can affect user stories’ quality, leading to ambiguity, lack of completeness, or accidental complexity. Objectives: Our goal was to analyse the differences between 4 alternative user story templates when creating and understanding user stories. Methods: We conducted a quasi-experiment. We asked 41 participants to perform creation and understanding tasks with the user story templates. We measured their accuracy, using metrics of task success; their speed, with task duration; visual effort, collected with an eye-tracker; and participants’ perceived effort, evaluated with NASA-TLX. Results: Regarding the impact of the different templates in creating user stories, we observed statistically significant differences in some of the metrics for accuracy, speed and visual effort. For understanding user stories, we observed small differences in terms of visual effort. Conclusions: Although some templates outperformed others in a few metrics, no template obtained the best overall result. As such, we found no compelling evidence that one template is \"better\" than the others.","PeriodicalId":440285,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 29th International Requirements Engineering Conference (RE)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129794306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, these reviews are not enough to adequately assess and address regulatory and security requirements throughout a software's development lifecycle. We believe requirements engineers can benefit from an improved understanding of how software practitioners treat and perceive compliance requirements. This paper describes an interview study seeking to understand how regulatory and security standard requirements are addressed, how burdensome they may be for businesses, and how our participants perceived them in the software development lifecycle. We interviewed 15 software practitioners from 13 organizations with different roles in the software development process and working in various industry domains, including big tech, healthcare, data analysis, finance, and small businesses. Our findings suggest that, for our participants, the software release process is the ultimate focus for regulatory and security compliance reviews. Also, most participants suggested that having a defined process for addressing compliance requirements was freeing rather than burdensome. Finally, participants generally saw compliance requirements as an investment for both employees and customers. These findings may be unintuitive, and we discuss seven lessons this work may hold for requirements engineering.","PeriodicalId":440285,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 29th International Requirements Engineering Conference (RE)","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133160222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Approaches resting on models at run-time have been proposed (e.g., to model system variants), as well as methods that aim at giving requirements a key role in driving the adaptation process (e.g., to choose the most appropriate system variant). More recent research focuses on automating model-based decisions, such as requirements revision, by exploiting data generated at execution time.Uncertainty is considered a first-class citizen in SAS engineering. A well recognised technique for dealing with uncertainty is risk management. Several risk management methods exist, as well as visual modelling languages that aim at supporting risk analysis.Our objective is to investigate how complementing requirements modelling with risk modelling could support automating risk-driven requirements analysis. While risk could be identified and modelled at design-time using domain knowledge and data generated by previous system executions, their estimation will be done at run-time, and guide the selection of system behaviour that minimises the risk of the system not being compliant with requirements.In this paper, we introduce our research objective that concerns the definition of an engineering framework, called Risk4SAS, that enables risk-driven requirements analysis in SASs life-cycle and describe first steps towards its realisation, including a meta-model, which captures the dependency between risk and the characteristics of a SAS’s variants. We conclude by presenting our research road-map.","PeriodicalId":440285,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 29th International Requirements Engineering Conference (RE)","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115731282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the complexity of software environments increase, and expectations for cross-product integration heighten, there is more pressure on actors within software ecosystems (SECOs) to work in unison to produce reliably integrated software, efficiently. Recently collected empirical findings show that requirements managers working in SECO environments believe that all key stakeholders can be identified, but that it requires analysis, investigation and expert knowledge. Until now, the existing frameworks describing stakeholder identification do not take into account the level of dependencies that occur in SECOs nor the implications on SECO health. This research proposes that a structured comprehensive approach to identifying stakeholders in SECOs would provide practitioners the guidance they need to avoid the common pitfalls of poor stakeholder identification, including late requirements from critical stakeholders which can risk the software release schedule, software quality, and scope.","PeriodicalId":440285,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 29th International Requirements Engineering Conference (RE)","volume":"124 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116328490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In CrowdRE, requirements elicitation can be crowdsourced by creating an online platform that allows stakeholders to formulate ideas regarding the specific product. Although some case studies on crowd-based elicitation exist, no conclusive evidence can be derived on the effectiveness of such techniques. In this paper, we study crowd-based elicitation within a large governmental organization. We conduct two case studies of CrowdRE within the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee. For this, we construct the KMar-Crowd method, which adapts CrowdRE ideas to the needs of governmental organizations. While one case compares the crowd-generated ideas with requirements elicited via interviews and similar techniques, the other measures the usefulness of the gathered ideas for a product for which no prior elicitation was conducted. The results of the case studies, which attracted larger crowds than in previous studies, indicate that CrowdRE can be successfully applied to engage the users of a software product in requirements elicitation. Contradicting earlier studies, the inclusion of gamification elements in the CrowdRE method did not increase the motivation to participate, possibly due to the nature of governmental organizations.","PeriodicalId":440285,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 29th International Requirements Engineering Conference (RE)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132568054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
