Study Notes

Requirements Management

  • Requirements management is the process of understanding and controlling changes to system requirements.
  • It involves tracking individual requirements and maintaining links between dependent requirements.
  • A formal process for making change proposals and linking them to system requirements is necessary.

System Modeling

  • System modeling is the process of developing abstract models of a system, presenting different views or perspectives.
  • It involves representing a system using a graphical notation (UML - Unified Modeling Language).
  • System modeling helps analysts understand the system's functionality and communicate with customers.

Requirements Engineering Process

  • The process consists of four stages: requirements elicitation and analysis, requirements specification, requirements validation, and requirements management.

Requirements Elicitation and Analysis

  • Interact with stakeholders to discover their requirements.
  • Document requirements and group related ones into coherent clusters.
  • Metrics for specifying non-functional requirements are essential.

Requirements Specification

  • Translate gathered information into a document defining a set of requirements (user and system).

Requirements Validation

  • Check requirements for realism, consistency, and completeness.
  • Errors in the requirements document are discovered and corrected during this process.

Requirements in Agile

  • Product backlog is a combined list of all desired work, including user-focused stories, technical work, features, and ideas.
  • Product roadmap is a high-level plan that describes how the product will evolve.
  • User stories are short descriptions of features from the user's perspective.
