Usability of requirements techniques

Abstract

The usability of requirements engineering (RE) techniques has been recognised as a key factor for their successful adoption by industry. RE techniques must be accessible to stakeholders with different backgrounds, so they can be empowered to effectively and efficiently contribute to building successful systems. When selecting an appropriate requirements engineering technique for a given context, one should consider the usability supported by each of the candidate techniques. The first step towards achieving this goal is to gather the best evidence available on the usability of RE approaches by performing a systematic literature review, to answer one research question: How is the usability of requirements engineering techniques and tools addressed? We systematically review articles published in the Requirements Engineering Journal, one of the main sources for mature work in RE, to motivate a research roadmap to make RE approaches more accessible to stakeholders with different backgrounds.

“…The usability requirements can be evaluated through surveys about the visibility of system status, match between system and real world, user control and freedom, consistency and standards, error prevention, recognition rather than recall, factor flexibility and efficiency of use [50]. Thence, user tests and usability testing [51], [52], [53] have been carried out, and involved 4 users (i.e. 3 males and 1 female) performing the different, above-mentioned tasks within 10-minute time intervals, respectively.…”
