N2 - An inevitable aspect of product development is that the
developer needs to be sure what customers and other
stakeholders want from the system under development.
Plenty of best practices for requirements engineering
have been introduced in the scientific literature, as
well as studies about the related pitfalls, but
requirements engineering still remains a problematic area
in product development. Operating in distributed
development environment not only emphasizes these
problems, but also creates new ones. Typically the
biggest challenges for industrial practitioners are the
lack of awareness about the existing solutions as well as
the difficulty of selecting the right methods for certain
kind of situations during the development. In this
article, one potential solution for assistance in the
selection of requirements validation practices in
distributed product development environment is presented.
Based on interviews made within the company and solutions
found from literature, a proposal for potential
improvement actions is presented.
