SMOTE-Tomek boosts software requirements classification accuracy

Researchers have improved the classification of software requirements by applying the SMOTE-Tomek preprocessing technique to the PROMISE dataset. This method effectively addresses class imbalance within the dataset, which contains 969 requirements categorized as functional or non-functional. The approach led to a significant increase in classification accuracy, with logistic regression achieving 76.16% compared to a baseline of 58.31%, demonstrating the utility of machine learning for scalable and interpretable solutions in requirements engineering.
