Requirements Engineering (RE) has received much attention in research and practice due to its importance to software project success. Its interdisciplinary nature, the dependency to the customer, and… (More)
Defect causal analysis (DCA) is a means of product focused software process improvement. A systematic literature review to identify the DCA state of the art has been undertaken. The systematic review… (More)
Default causal analysis (DCA) or defect prevention is required by higher-maturity-level software development processes such as the Brazilian Software Process Improvement Reference Model and… (More)
As part of the Naming the Pain in Requirements Engineering (NaPiRE) initiative, researchers compared problems that companies in Brazil and Germany encountered during requirements engineering (RE).… (More)

Traditional Software Inspection is a well-established approach to identify defects in software artifacts and models early and efficiently. However, insufficient method and tool support hinder… (More)
Software inspections improve software quality by the analysis of software artifacts, detecting their defects for removal before these artifacts are delivered to the following software life cycle… (More)
[Context] Many software projects fail due to problems in requirements engineering (RE). [Objective] The goal of this paper is to gather information on relevant RE problems and to represent knowledge… (More)
[Context] Empirical software engineering (EMSE) researchers conduct systematic literature reviews (SLRs) to build bodies of knowledge (BoKs). Unfortunately, valuable knowledge collected in the SLR… (More)
