To identify and document the stakeholders' needs
What is prototyping in requirements engineering?
Using an executable model of the system to check requirements
What is the primary benefit of having consistent requirements?
They prevent conflicts between different parts of the system
What is the primary role of system modeling in requirements engineering?
To understand the system's functionality and behavior

To illustrate the operational context of a system
Which type of model is used to illustrate the interactions between a system and its environment?
Use-case model
What is the primary benefit of modeling inner aspects of a system?
To identify user requirements
What does an actor in a use case represent?
A person or another system
Which type of model is used to illustrate the internal structure of a system?
Structural model
What is the purpose of use cases in system modeling?
To support requirements elicitation

Behavioral model
What is the relationship between a medical receptionist and a patient record system in the Mentcare system?
The medical receptionist interacts with the patient record system
Study Notes
Requirements Engineering
- Establishes the services that the customer requires from a system and the constraints under which it operates and is developed
- Involves iterative activities: requirements elicitation and analysis, requirements validation, and requirements management
Requirements Elicitation and Analysis
- Determines the actual needs of stakeholders
- Identifies the services required by the customer
- Defines the constraints within which the system operates
Requirements Validation
- Checks that the system provides the functions that best support the customer's needs
- Verifies consistency, completeness, and feasibility of requirements
- Ensures requirements can be tested and validated
Requirements Management
- Manages changing requirements during system development and after deployment
- Keeps track of individual requirements and maintains links between dependent requirements
- Establishes a formal process for making change proposals and linking them to system requirements
System Modeling
- Develops models of a system from different perspectives: external, interaction, structural, and behavioral
- Uses graphical notations, typically UML, to represent the system
- Helps analysts understand the system's functionality and communicate with customers
System Modeling Perspectives
- External perspective: models the system's context and environment
- Interaction perspective: models interactions between the system and its environment, or between system components
- Structural perspective: models the system's architecture and components
- Behavioral perspective: models the system's dynamic behavior and response to events
Use Cases
- Developed to support requirements elicitation
- Represents a discrete task involving external interaction with a system
- Each use case involves actors (people or systems) and can be represented diagrammatically or in a detailed textual form
This quiz covers the concepts of requirements engineering processes, including requirements specification, validation, and management, as well as system modeling and interaction models.
