Abstract

Objectives/methods: In the development process of a software product the requirement gathering is the most significant part of this procedure. The very close interaction of all stakeholders is required to build quality software and in a global software development environment, daily or frequent meetings between all stakeholders are not possible and also costly. To achieve a common understanding of requirements is a challenging task in case of global software development projects. In this situation to get the right requirements is a complicated job. In this study, a framework is presented for improving communication during Requirement Elicitation using strategies and best elicitation techniques for them with Cased Based Reasoning in GSD environment. Findings/application: In this research, we have to use a case study of a real-time project. This has resulted in a framework for improving communication, selecting the best elicitation techniques and CBR for requirement repository in GSD environment. The framework provides a guideline to requirement engineers regarding issues in communication, best strategies and suited elicitation techniques to effectively elicit requirement is GSD environment.
