A Pair-oriented Requirements Engineering Approach for Analysing Multi-lingual Requirements

Requirements written in multiple languages can lead to errorproneness,inconsistency and incorrectness. In a Malaysian setting, software engineers are exposed to both Malay and English requirements. This can be a challenging task for them especially when capturing and analyzing requirements. Further...
