An Innovative Methodology for Elicitation Technique Selection via Attribute Mapping

Abstract

The software development process relies entirely on stakeholders' requirements. The end product will likely be optimal and successful if stakeholders' requirements are integrated into the proposed system. Various Requirement Elicitation Techniques (RET) are employed to achieve a successful product. The selection of a suitable RET depends on the nature of the product under development. Therefore, a single RET cannot be universally applied to all products. This paper aims to distinguish between all RETs, facilitating analysts in selecting the most appropriate RET from the available options. Additionally, we have devised a novel mapping framework that identifies the most suitable RET for any software based on its attributes. We have also implemented this framework using an online vehicle booking system as an illustrative example.
