A taxonomy of current issues in requirements engineering
Open accessAbstract
The purpose of this article is to increase awareness of several requirements specifications issues: (1) the role they play in the full system development life cycle, (2) the diversity of forms they assume, and (3) the problems we continue to face. The article concentrates on ways of expressing requirements rather than ways of generating them. A discussion of various classification criteria for existing requirements specification techniques follows a brief review of requirements specification contents and concerns.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
