Requirements elicitation is the most crucial and complex tasks in requirement engineering as it determines the quality of requirements in software development. Further, considering that clinical requirements are more complex in comparison to other requirements, requirements engineers have to give more attention when eliciting requirements for clinical software as any errors may lead to disastrous effects in healthcare. In this case, requirement engineers need to be cognizant of the accuracy and completeness of requirements to ensure the development of a full-function software. Although various methods, approaches and tools have been developed to assist requirements engineers to elicit accurate requirements, there have been very limited work involved in the clinical domain. This paper aims to present a comparison analysis of the existing methods, approaches and tools that help requirements to elicit requirements. The analysis of tools can be used a guidance to identify the existing work related to requirements elicitation.
