Software requirements engineering training: problematic questions

Abstract

The key problems of training Requirement Engineering and the following ways to overcome the contradiction between the crucial role of Requirement Engineering in industrial software development and insufficient motivation to master it in the process of Software Engineering specialists professional training were identified based on a systematic research analysis on the formation of the ability of future software engineers to identify, classify and formulate software requirements: use of activity and constructivist approaches, game teaching methods in the process of modeling requirements; active involvement of stakeholders in identifying, formulating and verifying requirements at the beginning of the project and evaluating its results at the end; application of mobile technologies for training of geographically distributed work with requirements; implementation of interdisciplinary cross-cutting Software Engineering projects; involvement of students in real projects; stimulating the creation of interdisciplinary and age-old student project teams.
