Practices of Requirement Engineering Process Maturity in Global Software Development

The software development life cycle places requirement engineering (RE) at its core because of its fundamental importance. Global Software Development (GSD) creates significant difficulties for requirements collection and implementation because it faces challenges including geographical distance and time zone differences and language barriers and cultural differences. Due to difficulties in traditional requirements collection and analysis procedures in GSD projects organizations need to advance their RE process. Over several investigations’ researchers have established that RE process maturity operates as a critical determinant for achieving successful requirements implementation in GSD. The research identifies every potential practice to enhance RE process maturity by analyzing literature through Systematic Literature Review (SLR). The Systematic Literature Review revealed that RE process maturity includes 20 distinct practices as its outcome.
