Systems engineers can benefit by increasing their familiarity with multiple approaches and tools for helping human beings express their desires and wants. This paper addresses this issue by presenting an overview of requirements elicitation tools. Numerous tools are discussed with their applicability to hardware, software, or soft systems, or any combination. It provides an overview of “what” the tools can do but not “how” to use the tool, the difficulty of learning (rough order of magnitude learning time), the type of product the tools are of greatest value (benefit/cost) for usage, and some advantages and disadvantages for each tool.
