Requirements Engineering, Requirements Change Management, Global Software DevelopmentAbstract
Change is an inherent process in software development. Customer demands, corporate needs, and scalability are just a few of the reasons why requirements may vary. Managing these changes on time is critical to developing effective software. However, due to distributed team structures and geographical obstacles, requirement change management (RCM) is not an easy task, particularly in global software development (GSD). Furthermore, no collocated RCM model or organizational structure is currently available for performing GSD. This study provides a revolutionary unified paradigm for managing requirement engineering in GSD. The study is validated by a survey. The findings indicate that the suggested research will assist software businesses in solving the shifting requirement difficulties in the GSD environment, allowing them to execute projects effectively.
