Introduction: Software engineering, as a discipline, is represented in a series of subdisciplines and good practices. One of them, software quality assurance and, within it, requirements quality. This research explores and describes the situation in the Coffee Axis (Colombia), contrasts it with the international literature and proposes lines of action to improve the software development process from the assurance of the quality of the requirements.
Objective: Characterize the practices of the local software industry and its relationship with quality assurance, particularly in the requirements phase.
Method: The methodology used in the research was mainly descriptive and exploratory, in which a non-probabilistic convenience sampling was used in which 23 companies participated and the information was collected through a survey.
Results: Input data for the formulation of a model for the assurance of the quality of the requirements in the local software industry.
Conclusions: Most of the projects undertaken in the local industry are in the hands of one-person organizations or MSMEs; Organizations that mostly avoid following accepted and recognized global standards or methodologies, thus leading to the definition of requisites, in the case of this report, to a minimum of expression and thus increasing the statistics of failed projects.
