Designing a Requirements Engineering Model to Achieve Software Quality

Abstract

One of the key issues addressed in this study is the ambiguity surrounding the understanding of software project requirements. Many users and clients often lack a clear vision of what they expect from the system or the purpose behind its development, which inevitably hinders the success of software projects. A primary objective of the researcher in this study was to establish a practical approach for writing requirements based on specific standards and a proposed model. This model consists of a structured and organized sequence of steps designed to facilitate accurate and effective requirement specification. Among the most significant findings of the study—based on a series of questionnaires distributed to various software companies and individuals—was the contribution of the survey in analyzing the current state of requirements engineering within software institutions and assessing the extent to which practical standards are applied. The survey revealed numerous insights, most notably the widespread absence of a standardized model for requirements gathering among both organizations and individual practitioners.
