Abstract

The volume of software development outsourcing is growing enormously owing to the associated benefits of outsourcing and limitations of organizations. However, a large number of the projects outsourced for software development are failed to achieve anticipated results. In most of such cases, the reasons for failure are traced back to the Requirements Engineering (RE) process. In spite of this state of affairs, adequate efforts have not been made to avoid the failure of outsourced software development projects due to RE process issues. This research has been conducted with the aim of cultivating the RE process for software development outsourcing by identifying the significant RE practices for this process. The study is based upon Sommerville and Sawyer's RE practices for six key areas of the RE process. A survey research method has been used to collect data from 108 practitioners belonging to 18 national and multinational organizations associated with software development outsourcing. After analysis of the obtained data, we have identified the RE practices which are significant in order to improve the RE process for software development outsourcing and hence to achieve desired results.

软件开发外包的重要需求工程实践

由于外包的相关好处和组织的局限性，软件开发外包的数量正在急剧增长。然而，大量外包的软件开发项目未能达到预期的结果。在大多数情况下，失败的原因可以追溯到需求工程(RE)过程。尽管存在这种情况，但是没有做出足够的努力来避免由于RE过程问题而导致的外包软件开发项目的失败。本研究的目的是通过确定软件开发外包过程中重要的可再生资源实践来培养可再生资源过程。该研究基于Sommerville和Sawyer对可再生能源过程的六个关键领域的可再生能源实践。一种调查研究方法被用来收集来自18个国家和跨国组织的108名实践者的数据，这些组织与软件开发外包有关。在对获得的数据进行分析之后，我们已经确定了可再生资源实践，这些实践对于改进软件开发外包的可再生资源过程，从而达到预期的结果是非常重要的。
