Abstract

Even though there is ample information available on solid requirements engineering practices, anecdotal evidence still indicates poor practices in industry. The key issue in implementing an improvement is to first identify the areas that need most improvement. Three surveys were conducted in 2003, 2008 and 2013 on the state of practice of requirements engineering. Surveys data obtained includes characteristics of projects, practices, organizations, and practitioners related to requirements engineering. In this paper we present a comparison and analysis of the responses from the three surveys in order to understand the changing land-scape of requirements engineering industrial practices over the past years.
