    A survey on blockchain acquainted software requirements engineering
    (UMT, Lahore, 2022) MISHAAL AHMED
    Requirements are the basis of software development practices. Ambiguities in requirements leads a project to a point of failure or penalizes it with high budget and time for defect traceability. The ever-growing demand for advance computing systems has increased the complexity of Software Requirements Engineering (SRE) practices. Blockchain systems require specialized SRE practices as the issues of requirement traceability (RT), developer/client confidentiality, and requirement negotiation (RN) typically exist in conventional approaches, which require more improvement. Moreover, the blockchain technology incorporates the capacity to function as an infrastructure for SRE framework providing transparency, security, and reliability. Even though the significance of studying blockchain in context of SRE is evident, it is still in its infancy. To the best of our knowledge, none of the previous studies conducted a comprehensive research study based on survey in this domain. In this research, we have provided a comprehensive review on the aspects of blockchain acquainted SRE practices. We have presented SRE based quality improvement factors and outlined the need for blockchain technology in this domain. Furthermore, we have classified SRE practices based on blockchain engineering. In addition, we have proposed a generic SRE model built on blockchain infrastructure along with its workflows. Similarly, we have provided implementation guidelines for the future development guidance of SRE applications built on blockchain technology. Finally, we have presented the current research challenges and provided future directions based on blockchain acquainted SRE.
