SOFTWARE ENGINEERING USING METAHEURISTIC ALGORITHMS

This paper examines the perceived research gap in software requirements engineering, with a particular focus on requirement specification and modeling. Various contributions by researchers to write requirements specifications in the literature are reviewed and in addition practitioner’s viewpoints are also taken into consideration. On comparing the research and practice in this field, possible causes for the gap are identified. The barriers to adopt research contributions in practice are also reviewed. Finally recommendations to overcome this gap are made, which are the basis for an on-going study that aims to produce empirical study related to assessing requirements engineering.
