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...
