Abstract

Blockchain has drawn significant attention from researchers for more than a decade. Recently, there has been a series of research works on blockchain technology reported across the globe. However, most of them covered either integration of specific technologies with blockchain, or engrossed all available technological applications in the form of a review. In this work, the goal is to provide a comprehensive insight of the existing literature with a focus on application of software engineering principles in blockchain technology application development. Towards this, a systematic literature review of the documents available on the renowned research database of web of sciences has been done. A comprehensive Citation analysis of 1171 documents was done and further, 15 research papers were selected for detailed content analysis. These documents were investigated in a reasonably detailed manner and findings have been presented. The review also sheds light on various challenges and shows directions for future research. Authrs firmly believe that this systematic literature review shall provide an all- inclusive recapitulation that will benefit the research community to understand the relationship and requirements of software engineering practices vis-a-vis blockchain technology.
