Opis

Requirements engineering is a practical, systematic engineering process that aims to identify the trade-offs that would ensure that a software system meets the demands of the job it was designed for. This text covers both the human and organizational objectives - what people want from a system - and the modelling of the system using structured methods or formal mathematical methods - how software engineers interpret and formalize requirements.

Requirements Engineering Processes and Techniques Why this book was written The value of introducing requirements engineering to trainee software engineers is to equip them for the real world of software and systems development. What is involved in Requirements Engineering? As a discipline, newly emerging from software engineering, there are a range of views on where requirements engineering starts and finishes and what it should encompass. This book offers the most comprehensive coverage of the requirements engineering process to date – from initial requirements elicitation through to requirements validation. How and Which methods and techniques should you use? As there is no one catch–all technique applicable to all types of system, requirements engineers need to know about a range of different techniques. Tried and tested techniques such as data–flow and object–oriented models are covered as well as some promising new ones. They are all based on real systems descriptions to demonstrate the applicability of the approach. Who should read it? Principally written for senior undergraduate and graduate students studying computer science, software engineering or systems engineering, this text will also be helpful for those in industry new to requirements engineering.
