Abstract

Requirement Engineering is the process of eliciting, analysing, negotiating, specifying and managing functional and non functional requirements of a system. The RE phase faces some challenges like managing ambiguous, incomplete and inconsistent requirements; specifying requirements in unstructured format; inefficient elicitation of requirements from stakeholders and managing various artefacts of requirements along with non functional requirements. These challenges may arise in any software development methodologies and may hinder the progress of project and system development. The security and privacy requirements have not given much attention in RE. There is a strong need of versatile and security-privacy aware RE tool to elicit, manage and specify requirement efficiently and in standardized format. This paper proposes a unique, security-privacy aware “ReqPriSec” tool to manage and store the requirements in objective manner without major efforts of natural language requirement statements. The “ReqPriSec” tool is tested and evaluated based on different parameters on E-voting case study.
