Changes in Requirements Engineering Following Software as a Service Model Migration

SEEE DIGIBOOK ON ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY, VOL. 01 (2), JUN 2020 PP. (734-740)
Abstract– There is a consensus among experts in the field of software engineering that service-oriented architectures will emerge as the most important trend in the industry. The potential advantages of migrating to cloud environments have piqued the interest of businesses that sell software products and have prompted this migration interest. However, the software engineering process must be adjusted in order to accommodate the change from the Software as a Product model to the Software as a Service model that must be implemented on an existing software system. Even though an adequate amount of research has been conducted on the process in general, very little effort has been put in to understand how the impact will be felt during the requirements elicitation stage. In this article, we investigate the necessary changes that need to be made in the process of requirements engineering, and we provide a methodical approach for successfully making those changes. Additionally, it discusses the new benefits that come with the elicitation of requirements that are inherent in a cloud environment. This is in addition to the fact that it has already discussed the previously mentioned advantages. The paper then moves on to discuss the problems that were identified along with the solutions that were developed in relation to the guidelines and best practices that were deduced. This section of the paper concludes with a conclusion. We have reached the conclusion that the requirements engineering process is one that is one that can benefit from a systematic transformation when moving from a model based on software as a product to a model based on software as a service. This was our conclusion after coming to the conclusion that the requirements engineering process is one that can benefit from a systematic transformation.
