Abstract
Goal-oriented requirements analysis (GORA) is a sub-process of goal-oriented requirements engineering, which is used for the identification and analysis of the high-level objective of an organization. There are different types of GORA methods like AGORA, PRFGOREP, FAGOSRA, Tropos, etc., which have been developed to deal with different issues related to GORA like reasoning with goals, selection and prioritization of the goals and requirements, stakeholders analysis, detection of conflictions among goals, and so on. The objective of this paper is to classify and evaluate the GORA methods based on goal concepts, goal links, and soft computing techniques used in GORA methods to deal with impression and vagueness during the decision-making process. Based on the evaluation, we have also discussed the future scope in the field of GORA methods.
