Abstract
Requirements Engineering (RE) in the context of agile development is the process of discovering, analysing, validating, and managing software requirements through engaging with the stakeholders. RE activities are central to software development and its success. Advances in automation have been explored in requirements engineering activities and processes in the industry. However, the application of automated support is still limited in practice. In this study, we examine automated RE support in agile development through a qualitative analysis using industry experts. We have found that the application of automated RE support tools is primarily in the experimental stage, largely due to the limited practical implementation in industry settings. The current focus has been on research experiments, with relatively fewer instances of real-world industry application. Although experts are optimistic about its huge potential to reduce development efforts and costs if automation is harnessed. Therefore, we anticipate that these findings will be beneficial for practitioners responsible for developing RE tools for agile development, as well as for the researchers.
