Flashcards

Who is a stakeholder?

A stakeholder is anyone who has an interest in the software system being developed. This can include users, developers, managers, customers, and even regulatory bodies. Stakeholders influence the project's success and have varying levels of involvement.

Who is the most important stakeholder in requirement engineering?

The most important stakeholder in requirement engineering is the user. This is because the system is ultimately built to meet their needs. The user's requirements drive the design and development of the software.

What are functional requirements?

Functional requirements describe the specific actions that a software system should perform. They define the intended behavior and functionality of the system.

What is portability in software development?

Portability refers to the ease with which a software system can be transferred and run on different platforms. Aspects like the language, operating system, and tools used can impact portability.

What is requirements elicitation?

Requirements elicitation is a crucial step in software development where developers gather information from stakeholders to understand their needs. It's a cyclical process, meaning it involves repeated interactions to refine and validate the requirements.

Study Notes

Stakeholder in Requirement Engineering

Stakeholders are anyone who will purchase the completed software system under development
Users are the most important stakeholders in requirement engineering

Portability in Non-Functional Requirements

Portability is the degree to which software running one platform can be converted to run on another platform
Portability isn't improved by available languages, operating systems, or tools
System's consistent behavior in a user-acceptable manner is key to portability when operating within the intended environment

Functional Requirements

Functional requirements describe the intended system reaction
Examples of non-functional requirements include maintainability, portability, and robustness

Stakeholder Importance

Managers are important stakeholders
Entry-level personnel are also important stakeholders
Users, and middle-level stakeholders are important stakeholders

Requirements Elicitation Problems

Scope problems, understanding issues, and volatility are problems in requirements elicitation
Elicitation is a cyclic process

Requirements Analysis Success

Requirements analysis is critical for project success
Performance and design, stakeholder and developer analysis are key elements in requirements analysis.
