Applying good practices to manage software requirements is a basic condition to obtain quality products. Therefore, it is important that software companies maintain a constant research around of new techniques and mechanisms to improve requirements activities such as elicitation, specification, and modeling. In this paper, we present a study of most representative aspect-oriented requirement approaches in order to analyze the way how these could support issues confronted by software companies during early stages of the lifecycle. Thus, we make a comparative analysis among approaches under criteria defined such as scope, traceability, requirements composition, conflict management, mapping, validation-verification, and scalability. Results achieved allowing us to know opportunities offered by aspect-oriented approaches so as to improve the requirement process.
