Data collection constitutes a methodological process of collecting, collating, and analyzing information to present solutions that are relevant to research questions. There are a myriad of data collection methodologies (Schick-Makaroff et al., 2016). The data collection aspect of research is mutual to all fields of research including Information Technology (IT). While the data collection methods vary, they are founded on some basic data collection tools and focus on capturing accurate data that remains the same (Kabir, 2016). The objective of all data collection/requirements determinations is to get access to quality evidence that leads to quality data analysis and permits the development of credible and convincing answer to research questions or solutions (Goertzen, 2017). Regardless of the area or preference of study, either quantitative or qualitative, accurate requirements, accurate requirements gathering methods and analysis techniques are critical to ensuring the integrity of research. In this paper, robust data collection methods and analysis techniques in Information Technology are unveiled.
