Naming the Pain in Requirements Engineering: Comparing Practices in Brazil and Germany [pdf]Author version  doi  abstract   bibtex   
As part of the Naming the Pain in Requirements Engineering (NaPiRE) initiative, researchers compared problems that companies in Brazil and Germany encountered during requirements engineering (RE). The key takeaway was that in RE, human interaction is necessary for eliciting and specifying high-quality requirements, regardless of country, project type, or company size. © 2015 IEEE.
