Engineering Quality Requirements in Large Scale Distributed Agile Environment.

Agile software development methods have become increasingly popular in the last years. However, agile methods don’t specify explicitly how to deal with the quality requirements. Moreover there is little known about how organizations currently deal with this shortcoming. Based on several case studies this research will investigate real-world large-scale distributed agile projects to understand the challenges agile teams face regarding quality requirements and the approach they are currently using to cope with these challenges. After that a set of good practices will be introduced to exp licitly integrate quality requirements in agile processes. Other case studies will be conducted to validate the suggested good practices.
