Variability and Commonality Requirement Specification on Agile Software Development: Scrum, XP, Lean, and Kanban

摘要

The user story widely studied insufficiently describes the software requirements. Many studies discuss the challenges of requirements specifications and proposed solutions. However, there are many agile methods and each method embraces different practices. Therefore, the solution has to follow each method’s ceremonies. Only a few studies discuss conducted practices in requirements specification development with the agile method and there are no studies that discuss practices comparisons among these methods. In this paper, we performed a systematic literature review to gather the available studies in procuring a current insight into the requirements engineering practices incorporate into the agile method. This study aims to map the variability and commonality practices among agile methods. The various and standard agile RE practices show crucial practices in the requirements specification development process. Moreover, it gives information on practices from other methods that increase the success of requirements specification development. From the systematic literature review, we found a total of 12 studies relevant to the study. There are eight variability and commonality practices between Scrum, XP, and Lean methods.
