Abstract

The first phase in the software development process is the Requirements Engineering (RE). Several methods for software development and RE techniques have been used to extract these users’ needs depending on the software complexity. Our goal is to map the evidence available about requirements engineering techniques adopted and challenges faced by agile methods in order to understand how traditional requirements engineering issues are resolved using agile requirements engineering. The agile methods considered for this work are: SCRUM, Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM), Adaptive Software Development (ASD) and Crystal Family. The present work is based on the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method proposed by Kitchenham; we have reviewed publications from ACM, IEEE, Science Direct, DBLP and World Wide Web. From a population of 34 papers, we identified 15 primary studies, which provide information concerning RE used in Agile Software Development Processes.
