“Requirements
engineering (RE) is the branch of software engineering concerned
with the real-world goals for, functions of, and constraints on software systems.
It is also concerned with the relationship of these factors to precise
specifications of software behavior, and to their evolution over time and
across software families.” [1] [2]
