Requirements Determination

DESCRIPTION

The goal of this course is to discover, analyse and document the functional and non-functional requirements that a software system should satisfy. The focus is on determining those features that a system should offer to its actors and stakeholders. The core process is to create an unambiguous requirements document that contains all the technical details that are needed by analysts and designers.

The course consists of three main stages; the first stage entails scoping the problem and finding an initial set of requirements and features. The second stage involves analyzing these requirements for inconsistencies, conflicts and missing requirements. The main objective is to resolve these problems before starting with stage 3, which is concerned with describing and documenting requirements that other stakeholders (such as analysts, designers and users) can understand and use. The percentage theory/practice is 70/30.

This course is based on a number of years of practical experience with requirements determination in real projects combined with use of modern and improved requirements capture techniques. In particular, we incorporate use case technology into the course as a special case. For complex systems we must ensures that they do not become unmaintainable, which is what we have experienced in projects.

  • Scoping large complex systems
  • A structured and defined approach to requirements discovery
