| description | One of the activities responsible for the success of a software development project is the specification of requirements, whose purpose is to ensure that the wishes or needs of the client clearly and accurately represent what they expect. A clear and structured requirement specification process avoids reprocessing at later stages of the project life cycle, generating a benefit in terms of time estimation for new tasks, cost, and effort. In this sense, it is important to have mechanisms or techniques to identify and mitigate possible errors during the requirements specification. Software engineering proposes the term “smell”, which can be defined as a specific symptom that can generate defects in a requirement. The objective of this paper is to establish a broader state of knowledge on the smell identification and classification present during the requirements specification and their impact on the generation of a phenomenon known as requirements debt. This article presents the results obtained after carrying out a systematic mapping of the literature, describing the proposals, initiatives, results, technological tools, benefits and challenges of smell identification and management in the requirements-gathering stage during the software development solutions. |

Una de las actividades responsables del éxito en los proyectos de desarrollo de software es la especificación de requisitos, cuyo propósito es asegurar que los deseos o necesidades del cliente representan de forma precisa lo que ellos esperan. Un proceso claro y estructurado durante la especificación de requisitos permite evitar reprocesos en etapas posteriores del ciclo de vida del proyecto, generando un beneficio en términos de estimación de tiempos para nuevas tareas, costo y esfuerzo. En este sentido, es importante contar con mecanismos o técnicas que permitan identificar y mitigar posibles errores durante la especificación de requisitos. En particular, la ingeniería de software propone el término “olor”, que se puede definir como un síntoma concreto que puede generar defectos en un requisito. Con el objetivo de establecer un estado del conocimiento más amplio en torno a la identificación, clasificación de olores presentes durante la especificación de requisitos y su impacto en la generación de un fenómeno conocido como deuda de requisitos, este artículo presenta los resultados obtenidos después de realizar un mapeo sistemático de la literatura, en el cual se describen las propuestas, iniciativas, resultados, herramientas tecnológicas, beneficios y desafíos en torno a la identificación y gestión de olores en la etapa de levantamiento de requisitos durante el desarrollo de soluciones software.
