Abstract

Requirement elicitation (RE) is one of the main tasks that must be performed in order to guarantee the correct implementation of a software development. Its incorrect specification can cause unnecessary overdue costs for the project and, in some cases, its complete failure. The objective of this paper is to provide a state of the art of the elicitation models that makes simultaneous use of two well-known techniques: the use cases model and user stories. The systematic literature review was chosen as a supportive investigation methodology. From the 45 found publications, the search strategy identified 11 studies and 3 methodological proposals: Athena, K-gileRE and NORMAP. Finally, after having reviewed the literature, it was found that there are a few validated proposals that makes use of the combination of user stories and use cases models. Also, there is not enough information to acknowledge the actual efficacy of combining both techniques.
