Abstract [en]
Technical debt is considered to have negative effects to the long term success of software projects. However, how the debt metaphor applies to requirements engineering is yet not significantly explored. Previ- ously, we proposed a framework to identify Requirements Debt (ReD) in three stages of the software development lifecycle. One of these stages is the formalization of stakeholder needs into natural language requirement specifications. In this work, we propose a live study aiming at surveying requirements engineering experts to gain further insights on the issues taking place at this stage and how they fit in our definition of ReD.
