Abstract

The quality of Software Requirements Specification (SRS) is critical. A good quality SRS must be clear, correct, consistent, unambiguous, modifiable, verifiable and traceable. Ambiguity is difficult to tackle; therefore, requirements elicitation technique should be effective. Published material related to SRS issues discusses ambiguity as the most conversed problem. In this survey, our focus is on one of the major quality issues i.e. ambiguity. There are many solutions to resolve SRS ambiguity but, there is no prescribed classification of these solutions exists. The survey to provide a summary of the huge research contributions in the form of developments and new techniques, models, and methodologies that have been recommended to control the SRS ambiguity and magnify the benefits of addressing SRS ambiguity in development projects. To organize this enormous work by researchers, we try to provide the main concepts and associations that together represent the field of SRS ambiguity. The study is important for further assessments of possible solutions to SRS ambiguity for the improvement of SRS that helps researchers and experts to compare these techniques for better results.
