Challenges in Requirements Engineering and Its Solutions: A Systematic Review

Software development projects are susceptible to many adversities throughout their life cycle that can be originated, among several reasons, of a low-quality specification and management of requirements. To ensure the Requirements Engineering activities are conducted correctly, researchers study and apply various techniques to predict and avoid the negative impacts that may occur in projects. The main goal of this research is to identify which techniques have been used to solve problems related to requirements management in software projects. We retrieved and reviewed studies published across various scientific databases to answer research questions that were previously defined. From this work, it was possible to obtain a better understanding of the most common problems in the Requirements Engineering field, as well as some techniques that currently exist to solve them. We also identified that Artificial Intelligence has been widely explored to improve the activities of the field.
