English Abstract
Stakeholders’ involvement is considered a key success factor in requirement engineering process.
It has been reported by many researchers that stakeholders’ involvement has a positive effect on their satisfaction and system acceptance.
The traditional techniques, such as interviews, workshops, and focus groups are not easily applicable to gather requirements by geographically distributed requirements engineering teams, which require direct interaction with and amongst stakeholders.
Many studies have shown that social networks can be used in the requirement collection process to gather requirements in cases involving geographically distributed environments.
However, the current social network tools still suffer from lack of stakeholder involvement.
In this study, we propose a new framework titled "Sharek", which incorporate social network features into requirement engineering activities to enable a geographically distributed Requirements Engineering team to get involved during each activity.
In addition, it incorporates gamification techniques into each activity to increase stakeholders’ engagement during the whole process.
A real-world case study has been conducted to explore the impact of using social network and gamification during the requirement elicitation, prioritization, and negotiation.
The result has shown that social network can be used as a primary technique for the requirement elicitation and negotiation in a distributed working environment.
In addition, Incorporating Gamification with social networks has a positive effect on the requirements engineering process; it has motivated the participants to write high-quality requirements and be more productive
