Marner, @prof_wagnerst, and Ruhe's work discuss how to identify stakeholders in the context of release planning. Their collaboration with Porsche AG is a great example of the impact of #reqeng research in industrial settings.

User stories is a common way to describe requirements in Agile s/w development. Levy, Y., Stern, R., Sturm, A., Mordoch, A. & Bitan, Y, describe how they create prediction models to identify user stories with high instability before development. #reqeng buff.ly/3LAvS96

Quality requirements are critical for the development of quality software. In the current issue, Olsson, T., Sentilles, S. & Papatheocharous, E. present a systematic literature review on this issue. It's worth reading it. #reqeng buff.ly/3GlNhSh

Assurance case development (ACD) can demonstrate if a system is safe for use. In the current issue, Almendra, C., Silva, C., et al present the results of their study on how ACD interplays with requirements engineering. It's worth reading it! buff.ly/3yWpBlL #reqeng

Two papers published in our journal will appear in the RE 2025 conference this week: one on Wednesday, one on Friday. Stay tuned for the individual paper announcements!

First journal-first article from our journal published at ReIeeI: "How assurance case development and requirements engineering interplay: a study with practitioners" will be presented on Wednesday 17/8 at 14:10 CET time

Second journal-first article: "Empirical research on requirements quality: a systematic mapping study" by Lloyd Montgomery Davide Fucci (@dfucci.co on bsky.social) Bourrafa Scholz and Walid Maalej

As we are now in September, it is time to announce our third issue of 2022. This is a special issue of best papers from the 2020 RE 2025 conference, with guest editors Travis Breaux and Andrea Zisman. Check out the articles online: buff.ly/3AM0cKC

In our September issue, Carvalho, de Castro Andrade and de Oliveira present a catalog of invisibility correlations that focuses on NFRs in ubiquitous computing and IoT #IoT. Can transparency (useful for #xai be a domain where NFRs are crucial? Paper: buff.ly/3CSDKlV

A classic topic in RE research is ambiguity detection. And one of its classic task is the detection of coreferences. Using a #deeplearning #bert model, Wang and colleagues achieve excellent performance Link: buff.ly/3Rvb6uZ

Chitchyan Ruzanna Chitchyan and Caroline Bird, based on their best paper at RE 2025 in 2020, present an extended article that argues for the use of (grounded) theory in requirements engineering, showing the interesting information it may reveal. Link: buff.ly/3eixARw
