Because of the complexity of natural language, SQA presents difficult challenges and many research opportunities. Instead of a shared effort, however, many essential components are redeveloped, which is an inefficient use of researcher's time and resources. This survey analyzes 62-different SQA systems, which are systematically and manually selected using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, leading to 72-selected publications out of 1960 candidates.
