Abstract
Requirement engineering (RE) has a vital role in the whole software development life cycle. It is a proven fact that stakeholders involved in the requirements elicitation and specification process may have different backgrounds and source; this may result in inconsistencies, ambiguities in requirements due to lack of domain knowledge, conflicting and contradictory views, communication and coordination issues. A few examples in the implementation of software systems, reciprocally the resulting system did not fulfill stakeholder expectations. To deal with these problems, it is necessary that RE activities ought to be integrated and improved by higher domain, application and instance level knowledge of requirements, which must be able to facilitate understanding about the context and develop shared understanding, amongst stakeholders. This study aimed at evaluating the framework of knowledge management to address mentioned issues within the RE process.
