Abstract

Requirement analysis is sophisticated process to understand the exact requirement in which some are singular and some may depend on other requirements. This Paper presents identification of requirements interdependencies in the software development process. Requirements elicitation is the gathering of relevant knowledge to find out the solution for a problem domain. There are various requirement elicitation techniques available such as: Interviewing and questionnaires, requirements workshops, brainstorming and idea reduction, storyboards, use cases, role playing, prototyping. This paper provides a significant work done on selecting an appropriate technique among them to address the number of unresolved issues concerning the identification and mapping of interdependencies.
