Requirement pattern, Software development life cycle, Systematic literature mappingAbstract
In the past few years, the literature has shown that the practice of reuse through requirement patterns is an effective alternative to address specification quality issues, with the additional benefit of time savings. Due to the interactions between requirements engineering and other phases of the software development life cycle (SDLC), these benefits may extend to the entire development process. This paper describes a revisited systematic literature mapping (SLM) that identifies and analyzes research that demonstrates those benefits from the use of requirement patterns for software design, construction, testing, and maintenance. In this extended version, the SLM protocol includes automatic search over two additional sources of information and the application of the snowballing technique, resulting in ten primary studies for analysis and synthesis. In spite of this new version of the SLM protocol, results still point out a small number of studies on requirement patterns at the SDLC (excluding requirements engineering). Results indicate that there is yet an open field for research that demonstrates, through empirical evaluation and usage in practice, the pertinence of requirement patterns at software design, construction, testing, and maintenance.
