Requirements Engineering Practices in Global Software Engineering Organizations: A Study in the Banking Industry

In this thesis we report on our investigation of requirements engineering (RE) practices and challenges in global software engineering (GSE) settings. We conducted a literature survey and a series of interviews/surveys to reach our goal. The subject of the research is the banking industry in the Netherlands actively involved in GSE. More specifically, the goal of this research is to find out what banking organizations have learned from RE practices when used in GSE settings. Specifically, the project investigates how GSE teams handle RE problems especially in the beginning of a project and attempts to identify the solutions in used in practice to deal with such challenges. The overall conclusions are that the use of liaison officers, the use of the online collaboration tools, and the use of a transparent RE process are the common practices that are used by the banks in the Netherlands to overcome their RE challenges in GSE project settings.
