Empirical Analysis of Traditional and Agile Requirements Engineering Process

User satisfaction is vital for the success of a project. To guarantee user satisfaction the user?s perspective of the required system should be well understood before embarking upon the development of the software. Requirements engineering (RE) is the branch of software engineering that consists of all those activities that leads to a successful development of the software by categorizing the users with their needs and bringing all this in an appropriate outline of citations.The most preliminary step in RE is requirement ?Elicitation phase? that is based on gathering necessities of the users before taking any step in the development of software. The Researchers performed research on requirement ?Elicitation phase? to discover the problems faced throughout elicitation. Thesis research is based upon questionnaire that is, obtained by a survey, which is conducted on students of a public University in Pakistan. A framework is used to analyze and resolve the problems those were identified by the students during survey. The framework is based on Extreme Programming (XP), the agile methodology. The concept of story card is introduced for the students with the idea of acceptance test criteria. This framework provides instruction to students through, which problems can be reduced for them during elicitation up to greater extent.
