Requirements engineering is a fundamental process in software development phases. At the same time, it is a difficult phase and exposed many ethical violations. The main purpose is proposing an ethical framework for software requirements engineering that addresses the identified concerns. These concerns include problems associated with a knowledge gap, requirements identification, quality-related concerns, unwillingness to give requirements, and practicing forbidden activities. These concerns are grouped into a category as the proposed framework components. Each of the categories encompasses more than one problem domain. The proposed framework suggests resolving mechanisms as collections of clauses for each of those concerns. An expert evaluation technique is used to validate the proposed framework. The experts are purposefully selected from software industries and institutions. Questionnaires and focus group discussions were used as data-gathering tools for the validation of the proposed framework. The validity (face validity, content validity, and construct validity) and the reliability of the proposed framework were checked. The evaluation results show that the proposed framework has an acceptable range of validity and reliability. The proposed framework can be used as a guideline for software engineers to minimise the occurrence of those identified concerns during the requirements engineering process.

拟议的软件需求工程道德框架

需求工程是软件开发阶段的基本过程。同时，这是一个困难的阶段，暴露了许多道德违规行为。主要目的是提出一个软件需求工程的道德框架，以解决已确定的问题。这些问题包括与知识差距、需求识别、质量相关的问题、不愿意提出要求以及从事禁止的活动相关的问题。这些问题被分为一个类别，作为拟议的框架组件。每个类别都包含多个问题领域。拟议的框架建议解决机制作为每个问题的条款集合。使用专家评估技术来验证所提出的框架。这些专家是从软件行业和机构中特意选拔的。调查问卷和焦点小组讨论被用作数据收集工具，以验证所提出的框架。检查了所提出框架的有效性（表面有效性、内容有效性和结构有效性）和可靠性。评估结果表明，所提出的框架具有可接受的有效性和可靠性范围。所提出的框架可以用作软件工程师的指南，以最大限度地减少需求工程过程中已识别问题的发生。和构造有效性）和所提出框架的可靠性进行了检查。评估结果表明，所提出的框架具有可接受的有效性和可靠性范围。所提出的框架可以用作软件工程师的指南，以最大限度地减少需求工程过程中已识别问题的发生。和构造有效性）和所提出框架的可靠性进行了检查。评估结果表明，所提出的框架具有可接受的有效性和可靠性范围。所提出的框架可以用作软件工程师的指南，以最大限度地减少需求工程过程中已识别问题的发生。
