Query: Using Social Network Service to determine the Initial User Requirements
  for Small Software Businesses   Background/Objectives: Software engineering community has been studied
extensively on large-sized software organizations and has provided suitable and
interesting solutions. However, small software companies that make a large part
of the software industry have been overlooked. Methods/Statistical analysis:
The current requirement engineering practices are not suitable for small
software companies. We propose a social network-based requirement engineering
approach that will complement the traditional requirement engineering
approaches and will make it suitable for small software companies. Findings: We
have applied our SNS-based requirements determination approach to knowing about
its validity. As a result, we concluded that 33.06 % of invited end-users
participated in our approach and figured out 156 distinct user requirements. It
has been seen that it was not necessary for users to have requirements
engineering knowledge to participate in our proposed SNS-based approach that
made maximum users to be involved during requirements elicitation process. By
investigating the ideas and opinions communicated by users, we were able to
figure out a high number of user requirements. It was observed that maximum
user-requirements were determined within a short period of time (7days). Our
experience with SNS-based approach also says that end-users hardly know about
non-functional requirements and express it explicitly.
Improvements/Applications: we believe that researchers will consider SNS other
than Facebook that would allow applying our SNS-based approach for requirements
identification. We have experienced our approach with Facebook but we do not
know how our approach would actually work with other SNSs.
