Integration between requirements engineering and safety analysis: A systematic literature review
Research methodology
Research questions
RQ1. What are the approaches proposed to improve the integration and communication between RE and safety engineering in the requirements engineering process of safety-critical systems?
RQ1.1. What are the activities can be performed by requirements engineers as a part of safety analysis in the approaches that integrate requirements and safety engineering?
RQ1.2. What are the techniques can be used by requirements engineers during safety analysis in the approaches that integrate requirements and safety engineering?
RQ1.3. What data/information artifacts can be created by requirements engineers in the analysis and specification of SCS in the approaches that integrate requirements and safety engineering?
RQ1.4. What are the tools used by the approaches that integrate requirements and safety engineering in safety analysis?
RQ1.5. What are the benefits of the approaches that integrate requirements and safety engineering identified in RQ1?
RQ2. What challenges/problems are identified in research literature relating to SCS and RE?

Results and analysis
Quality assessment results
Table A.11 - List of papers included in the review along with their quality scores and number of citations (the mean of quality was 82.37%).
RQ1.1. What are the activities can be performed by requirements engineers as a part of safety analysis in the approaches that integrate requirements and safety engineering?
This question intends to detect which activities can be conducted by requirements engineers during the safety analysis.
Table 7 - Activities that should be performed in safety analysis.
analysis and discussion
The results confirmed that there is no unified vocabulary among the approaches as well as they are not in compliance with safety standards.
Several of these activities have the same purpose, for example Safety analysis, Assessing Safety, Safety verification, and Safety Assessment.
Safety analysis is the activity reported in 37 studies (64.91%).
