Engineering Practices in Pakistan's Software Industry

            
             Requirement engineering is now an essential practice performed in almost every software manufacturing industry around the globe. It increases the amount of project success in a greater way. Sometimes this could be a labeled activity or sometimes not. However, almost every software development environment across the world is using some sort of basic requirement engineering process now days. The situation is not different in a developing country like Pakistan. A good number of software industries are following standard requirement engineering practices completely or partially. There are multiple reasons behind partial implementation such as lack of knowledge about processes, cost in terms of time and money and implementation of processes. In our study, we have collected factual data regarding current requirement engineering practices from Pakistan software industry. We have studied the organizations of varying size and types of projects. We also find out their success rate and problems which are due to partial or wrong implementation of requirement engineering practices. We are hopeful that this study will provide a cost effective solution for improving requirement engineering practices in Pakistan industry. .

             1. Introduction. Requirement engineering has shaped itself as a complete discipline now with a bundle of theoretical and practical application for software industry [1 - 4]. It has defined core activities like elicitation, analysis, specification, validation and management [2]. A comprehensive view of the field of requirement engineering is provided by Nuseibeh, B et all in [5]. They have presented an overview of the field along with its main areas of practice. They have also discussed the open research questions.
             However, the field of requirement engineering starts from the elicitation of the requirements from client.
