Requirements elicitation is the important activity in requirements engineering process and it involves in discovering needs, capturing and gathering software requirements from the stakeholders. However, there are few problems faced by requirements engineer in order to carry out requirements elicitation process. The requirements elicitation is lacking in terms of various issues; stakeholders involvement, support tool and complete documentation so as to achieve on time delivery. This process becomes easier if the requirements engineer and the other stakeholders shared a preferred method even though they are in distributed places, geographically. In our case, the requirements engineer (courseware developer) and other stakeholders (schoolteachers) agreed to use Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Therefore, a prototype of Focus Group Discussion for requirements elicitation tool, FGD-RElicit is proposed to assist all stakeholders involved and aims to tackle some of the difficulties in conducting requirements elicitation process. FGD-RElicit is aimed to improve the requirements elicitation process, enhances the software requirements specification (SRS), and feasibly produce much better software. This paper presents the multi viewpoint approach adopted, FGD-RElicit details feature, evaluation and the results of its application in a case study.
