Customization of agile techniques in software development to obtain quality requirements in SMEs: A systematic literature review

Abstract

Requirements management is a key step in software development, regardless of technological advance. Hence, various techniques for obtaining requirements are used to accurately meet the needs of those interested in developing a new application, and therefore, validations of the obtained requeriments are essential as a step towards quality assurement. That’s when agile methodologies become importance as they enable early value delivery, rapid response in environments with volatile requirements and constant collaboration among those involved. This research aims to present a systematic literature review of the techniques, methods or tools vailable for the validation of software requirements from the point of view of agile methodologies. The analyzed articles were acquired from the sources SCOPUS, ACM and IEEE. Forty papers have been analyzed where it is clear how there is a continuous search to achieve the objective of maximizing quality, either of requirements or processes, using different techniques and models, looking for order and quality as well as continuous delivery, time reduction and teamwork, merging or creating techniques, models and procedures, which use tools for project direction, incident and modeling management, showing that the studies that have merged techniques have been abled to be tested and validated in business environments.
