Abstract The article describes a novel method for sentiment analysis and requirement elicitation from social media feedback, leveraging advanced machine learning techniques. This innovative approach automates the extraction and classification of user requirements by analyzing sentiment in data gathered from social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook. Utilizing APIs (Application Programming Interface) for data collection and Graph-based Neural Networks (GNN) for feature extraction, the proposed model efficiently processes and analyzes large volumes of unstructured user-generated content. The preprocessing pipeline includes data cleaning, normalization, and tokenization, ensuring high-quality input for the sentiment analysis model. By classifying… More >

Abstract Requirements engineering (RE) is among the most valuable and critical processes in software development. The quality of this process significantly affects the success of a software project. An important step in RE is requirements elicitation, which involves collecting project-related requirements from different sources. Repositories of reusable requirements are typically important sources of an increasing number of reusable software requirements. However, the process of searching such repositories to collect valuable project-related requirements is time-consuming and difficult to perform accurately. Recommender systems have been widely recognized as an effective solution to such problem. Accordingly, this study proposes More >

Abstract Most software systems have different stakeholders with a variety of concerns. The process of collecting requirements from a large number of stakeholders is vital but challenging. We propose an efficient, automatic approach to collecting requirements from different stakeholders’ responses to a specific question. We use natural language processing techniques to get the stakeholder response that represents most other stakeholders’ responses. This study improves existing practices in three ways: Firstly, it reduces the human effort needed to collect the requirements; secondly, it reduces the time required to carry out this task with a large number of More >

Abstract Requirements elicitation is a fundamental phase of software development in which an analyst discovers the needs of different stakeholders and transforms them into requirements. This phase is cost- and time-intensive, and a project may fail if there are excessive costs and schedule overruns. COVID-19 has affected the software industry by reducing interactions between developers and customers. Such a lack of interaction is a key reason for the failure of software projects. Projects can also fail when customers do not know precisely what they want. Furthermore, selecting the unsuitable elicitation technique can also cause project failure.… More >
