How personas support requirements engineering

The aim of our research is the integration of personas into the requirements engineering process. The persona technique enables a better understanding of users' characteristics and thereby highlights the user needs in software development. We identify fundamental supporting purposes of personas for the requirements engineering process and match these benefits to the activities of the process.
