A Survey on the Techniques and Tools for Automated Requirements Elicitation and Analysis of Mobile Apps
[Background:] Research on automated requirements elicitation and analysis of mobile apps employed lots of techniques and tools proposed by RE researchers and practitioners. However, little is known about the characteristics of these techniques and tools as well as the RE tasks in requirements elicitation and analysis that got supported with the help of respective techniques and tools. [Aims:] The goal of this paper is to investigate the state-of-the-art of the techniques and tools used in autom…

Generative Goal Modeling
In software engineering, requirements may be acquired from stakeholders through elicitation methods, such as interviews, observational studies, and focus groups. When supporting acquisition from interviews, business analysts must review transcripts to identify and document requirements. Goal modeling is a popular technique for representing early stakeholder requirements as it lends itself to various analyses, including refinement to map high-level goals into software operations, and conflict an…

REConnect: Participatory RE that Matters
Software increasingly shapes the infrastructures of daily life, making requirements engineering (RE) central to ensuring that systems align with human values and lived experiences. Yet, current popular practices such as CrowdRE and AI-assisted elicitation strategies risk detaching requirements work from the cultural, social, and political contexts that shape lived experiences, human values, and real user needs. In this paper, we introduce REConnect that re-centers RE on the human connection as …

GUI-ReRank: Enhancing GUI Retrieval with Multi-Modal LLM-based Reranking
GUI prototyping is a fundamental component in the development of modern interactive systems, which are now ubiquitous across diverse application domains. GUI prototypes play a critical role in requirements elicitation by enabling stakeholders to visualize, assess, and refine system concepts collaboratively. Moreover, prototypes serve as effective tools for early testing, iterative evaluation, and validation of design ideas with both end users and development teams. Despite these advantages, the…
