Questions and Answers

What does the System Context define?

  • The boundaries of the system and key external elements (correct)
  • The relationships between all stakeholders
  • The technical specifications of the hardware
  • The internal processes of the system

Which aspect does NOT influence the system context?

  • People - stakeholders
  • Financial resources (correct)
  • Documents - laws and regulations
  • Hardware or existing systems

Why is understanding the system context crucial?

  • It helps to formulate legal standards for the project.
  • It provides the technical requirements directly to developers.
  • It aids in distinguishing between system scope and out-of-scope elements. (correct)
  • It simplifies the documentation process significantly.

System Context

A high-level representation of a software system's interactions with its surrounding environment. It defines what is inside the system and what's outside.

Requirements Elicitation

The process of discovering, analyzing, and documenting the needs and expectations of stakeholders related to a software system.

Requirements Negotiation

The process of agreeing on the final scope and details of the requirements with stakeholders, ensuring everyone is on the same page.

Requirements Documentation

The process of creating and maintaining documents, models, and artifacts that clearly communicate the system's requirements.

Study Notes

Software Requirements Engineering (SRE)

  • SRE is a structured approach to gathering, analyzing, documenting, validating, and managing software requirements throughout the software development lifecycle.
  • The framework improves communication among stakeholders, ensuring alignment with business objectives and enhancing final product quality.

SRE Framework Components

  • SRE Framework: The overall structure and methodology for SRE.
  • System Context: A high-level representation of the system's environment and its interactions with external entities. It defines system boundaries and identifies key external elements.
  • Core Activities: Essential tasks within the SRE process, including documentation, elicitation, and negotiation.
  • Requirements Artefacts: Documents, models, and resources used to capture, describe, and manage software requirements. Examples include SRS (Software Requirements Specification), FR (Functional Requirements), NFR (Non-Functional Requirements) and C (Constraints).

System Context

  • System context encompasses aspects influencing the system, such as people (stakeholders), hardware, documents (e.g., standards, laws), and processes (business processes).
  • A Context Diagram is a visual tool used to represent system context. This diagram depicts external entities and their interactions with the system. Example: Supplier, Retail Distributor, Supply Chain Management System, Wholesale Distributor.

Core Activities

  • Requirements Elicitation: Gathering requirements from stakeholders.
  • Requirements Negotiation: Discussing and agreeing on requirements.
  • Requirements Documentation: Recording and organizing the requirements.
  • Requirements Validation: Verifying that requirements are accurate and complete.
  • Requirements Management: Tracking changes and maintaining requirements throughout the process.

Requirements Artefacts

  • They are the foundation for system development, providing shared understanding among stakeholders, developers, and testers.
  • They include documents like SRS (Software Requirements Specification), FR (Functional Requirements), and NFR (Non-Functional Requirements).
