Abstract

The commonly known stages in Requirements Engineering (RE) include planning, elicitation, documentation, validation, and management. Each stage consists of multiple processes and activities between stakeholders that result in data collection and analysis. Activities and data can be collected/extracted/analysed by manual or automated software tools to streamline the requirements engineering process. The objective of this review is to collate and study the distribution of tools in each stage and to discover missing gaps (if any) in tools for each stage. An electronic search was conducted on four publication libraries to compile all tools introduced in the requirements engineering field from 2018 to April 2022. 33 publications were found, and data extraction was performed on them to classify the tools to discover common patterns and methodologies. The results from data analysis showed that most new tools focused on elicitation and validation stages of RE. Planning and documentation stages had the least number of new tools. No new methodologies for RE tool creation were introduced. NLP remained the popular approaches among researchers. 21 out of 33 publications did not present case studies to prove the practical applications of the tools they introduced. This review has aggregated knowledge in the tools used in different RE stages.
