A Simulator for Education and Training in Global Requirements Engineering: A Work in Progress

The requirements elicitation process is that which is the most critical in software development. For this reason it is necessary to train professionals in the skills needed to confront this process. Traditionally this has not been an easy task and with the arrival of new paradigms such as global software development (GSD) it has become more difficult. It thus becomes necessary to rely on new methods and tools which should support this process in a GSD environment. In this work we outline the characteristics of a simulator for the education and training of global requirements engineering and indicate the competences that this simulator would allow us to develop.
