Harnessing Cognitive and Psychological Theories for RE: Navigating Emotions in the Ocean of Requirements Elicitation

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

The rapid diffusion of software systems into all aspects of our lives has raised new challenges for requirements engineers. These challenges call for an in-depth understanding of system usage scenarios and user capabilities, attitudes, emotions, barriers, and more. Current methods and tools, such as the Design Thinking methodology and the Empathy Map tool, have been proposed for supporting the multifaceted requirements elicitation process. However, using these methods and tools effectively is not simple, requiring not only competency but also motivation, high self-efficacy, and positive attitudes. These emotional attributes are strongly influenced by the work environment in which the requirements engineers operate.
