The most cited reason for software failure is the inability to fully capture and implement the exact user requirements in a timely, operationally and financially expected manner. Requirements can be categorized into two types; explicit and tacit. Explicit requirements usually expressed clearly and well-identified requirements in which the system must perform. In contrast, tacit requirements are considered as hidden or embedded requirements that incapability of getting such may caused a software failure. The importance of tacit requirements in requirements engineering (RE) has been acknowledged widely as characteristics for developing projects in software engineering (SE). Therefore, the aim of this paper is to construct a framework for tacit requirement elicitation process. The framework is design based on the integration of the tacit knowledge elicitation process of Nonaka and Takeuchi model with the tacit requirements elicitation process. � 2006-2015 Asian Research Publishing Network (ARPN).en-USKnowledge managementRequirements engineering (RE)Software engineering (SE)Tacit knowledgeTacit requirementsArticle572578102
