A Systematic Review on Creativity Techniques for Requirements Engineering

Now-a-days Creativity is very much important for requirements analysis. The practice of systematic creativity technique is needed to generate inventive ideas and to achieve better outcome in requirements engineering. Creativity techniques are used to discover creative and innovative requirements and to understand client's expectation. In the paper we performed systematic review on articles those are related to creativity, creativity techniques, requirements engineering and empirical evaluation on creativity techniques for requirements engineering. In the systematic literature review, different sources are used (e.g. IEEE Xplore, ACM, Compendex, Inspec, Springerlink, Science Direct). Then preformed search with relevant search terms. We minimized search result combining creativity and requirements engineering and then go through the title and abstract and selected articles for review using inclusion and exclusion criteria. From the systematic review we determined the roles of creativity and identified the impact of creativity techniques in requirements engineering area. Also, we explored ideas on future impact and trend of creativity in requirements engineering.
