Requirements Engineering Quiz

Study Notes

Requirements engineering is the process of identifying the services that a customer requires from a system and the constraints under which it operates and is developed. The requirements themselves are the descriptions of the system services and constraints that are generated during the requirements engineering process. Requirements may range from high-level abstract statements to detailed mathematical functional specifications. They may serve a dual function, as the basis for a bid for a contract or as the basis for the contract itself. Requirements can be functional, non-functional, or domain requirements. Functional requirements describe the services the system should provide, while non-functional requirements impose constraints on the system's services or functions. Domain requirements are constraints on the system from the domain of operation.

Requirements engineering processes involve generic activities such as requirements elicitation, analysis, validation, and management. Technical staff work with customers and stakeholders to find out about the application domain, the services that the system should provide, and the system's operational constraints. However, there are problems that may arise during requirements analysis, such as stakeholders not knowing what they really want, expressing requirements in their own terms, having conflicting requirements, or having organizational and political factors influencing the system requirements. Software engineers work with a range of system stakeholders to discover, classify, organize, prioritize, negotiate, and specify the requirements.
