Abstract
[Context and motivation] Requirements reuse has been proposed asa key asset for requirements engineers to efficiently elicit, validate and document softwarer equirements and, as a consequence, obtain requirements specifications of better quality through more effective engineering processes.[Question/problem] Regardless the impact requirements reuse could have in software projects’ suc-cess and efficiency, the requirements engineering community has published veryfew studies reporting the way in which this activity is conducted in industry.
[Principal ideas/results] In this paper, we present the results of an interview-based study involving 24 IT professionals on whether they reuse requirementsor not and how. Some kind of requirements reuse is carried out by the majorityof respondents, being organizational and project-related factors the main drivers.Quality requirements are the type most reused. The most common strategy isfind-copy-paste-adapt. Respondents agreed that requirements reuse is beneficial,especially for project-related reasons. The most stated challenge to overcome inrequirements reuse is related to the domain of the project and the development of acompletely new system.
[Contribution] With this study, we contribute to the stateof the practice in the reuse of requirements by showing how real organizationscarry out this process and the factors that influence it.
