Abstract

This article describes a tradeoff analysis that can be done to select a suitable requirements elicitation method and the results of trying three methods in some case studies. It is a companion to the requirements elicitation introduction.

This material is extracted and adapted from a more extensive case study report by Carnegie Mellon graduate students Lydia Chung, Frank Hung, Eric Hough, and Don Ojoko-Adams [Chung 06].
