    Study Notes

    Requirements Discovery and Understanding

    • Interactions with stakeholders help identify system requirements and reveal domain requirements.
    • Documentation reviews also assist in uncovering relevant requirements.

    Requirements Classification and Organization

    • Unstructured requirements are grouped into coherent clusters for easier analysis.
    • Organized requirements facilitate clearer understanding and communication among stakeholders.

    Requirements Prioritization and Negotiation

    • Conflicting requirements from multiple stakeholders must be negotiated and prioritized.
    • Stakeholder meetings often required to reach agreements on compromise requirements.

    Viewpoints in Requirements Gathering

    • A viewpoint collects and organizes requirements from stakeholders with common interests.
    • Each viewpoint contributes unique system requirements from various stakeholder perspectives.

    Iterative Requirements Elicitation Process

    • The process of requirements elicitation involves continual feedback between discovery, analysis, and documentation.
    • Understanding of requirements improves with each iteration until a final requirements document is produced.

    Ethnographic Analysis in Requirements Gathering

    • Ethnography aids in understanding existing systems but may not foster innovation.
    • Innovations from ethnographic studies are less applicable for broader organizational or domain requirements.

    Stories and Scenarios

    • Real-life examples, such as stories and scenarios, help capture system requirements effectively.
    • These narratives facilitate discussions and make abstract requirements more relatable for stakeholders.

    Example: Uploading Photos to KidsTakePics

    • Users upload photos saved on tablets or laptops after logging in, selecting project names, and inputting keywords.
    • The system generates notifications for moderators when new content is uploaded and informs users of the upload status.

    Graphical Notations and Specifications

    • Graphical models, like UML use case and sequence diagrams, define functional system requirements.
    • Mathematical specifications can clarify requirements but may be inaccessible to customers.

    System Requirements versus User Requirements

    • System requirements detail how software engineers will implement user requirements, serving as a blueprint for design.
    • While primarily focusing on external behaviors, some design insights may be necessary for complex systems.

    Structured Language and Requirements Specification

    • Structured language notations help impose uniformity and reduce ambiguity in requirements.
    • Templates and structured forms guide the creation and management of system requirements.

    Key Elements in Functional Requirements Specification

    • Specifications should clearly describe functions, inputs, outputs, and their respective origins and destinations.
    • A well-defined structured format for functional requirements improves clarity and understanding among all stakeholders.
