Each of these phases is integral to the success of the software under development. Among these stages, requirement gathering and analysis, also known as requirement engineering, plays a pivotal role. This phase is critical because it ensures that the software aligns precisely with the customer's needs and requirements. It is during the requirement engineering process that customer needs are collected and thoroughly analysed. This phase holds great significance as the end user of the software is the customer. Therefore, it is imperative that the software caters to all of the customer's needs. This paper provides an overview of various requirement engineering approaches adopted by software development companies and organizations for gathering, comprehending, and addressing all sort of anomalies or inconsistencies in the collected requirements.  \nIndex Terms-Requirement Engineering, Ontology, Requirements collection, Requirement change management.  \nI. INTRODUCTION  \nDifferent Software Development Organization follows many different ways for Software development. Initially when the software where developed at early times without any strategies software always leads to software crisis, It was believed that Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) model can be the solution for the software Crisis. Software development life cycle models follows series of activities initially from feasibility study i.e. studying the economical, technical, operational and legalfeasibilities of the software that will be developed. After the phase exit criteria of feasibility study , the software development goes to requirement gathering phase where the software requirement is gathered from the ultimate user and then the gathered requirement is analysed and on the basis of it SRS documentation is done that has function requirement, non-functional requirement and goals of implementation , then design phase where design document is maintained which includes low- level design and high level design, it also includes function oriented design and object oriented design, the next phase is the coding phase where the programmer adhere some common guide lines for writing the codes, the coding guidelines adhered is in such away that if any teams members change, the code should be clearly understandable. After coding is done and all syntax error is removed the code goes into code review technique which includes code walk through and code inspection. The next phase is testing phase which includes unit testing (testing individual models using drivers and stubs) then integration testing (integrating modules one by one and testing it individually) then is the system testing (testing software overall), the entire testing scenario includes two types of testing , black box testing where the internal structure of the module is not known testing is done to check in outer structure using equivalence class partitioning, boundary value analysis and clean room testing. The next type is the white box testing technique where the internal structure of the module is tested based on statement coverage, path coverage, branch coverage, condition coverage and many more. Finally when all validation and verification testing is done, then comes the maintenance phase which includes all the changes which the software company or organisation has to adhere if the organisation wants that software to be used for longer period of time, or software being developed doesn’t become the legacy product. So maintenance phase includes corrective, perfective and adaptive maintenance. Fig 1.
