Study Notes
Software Requirements Engineering
- Course code: ISB26404
- Instructor: Sugi
What are Requirements?
- Requirements are detailed descriptions of what a system must do.
- They guide both developers and stakeholders.
- Types include: Functional, Non-functional, System, and User requirements.
Why We Need Requirements
- Align stakeholders, ensuring a common understanding of project goals.
- Guide development, providing a clear blueprint for developers.
- Reduce risks, identifying potential issues early.
- Improve communication, facilitating communication between technical and business stakeholders.
Relationship Between Stakeholders, Developers, and Requirements
- Stakeholders define and communicate requirements.
- Developers implement the requirements.
- Feedback is crucial for the process.
What Happens Without Proper Requirements?
- Misaligned expectations: Products don't meet user needs.
- Cost overruns: Unclear requirements lead to rework and increased project costs.
- Scope creep: Without clear boundaries, the project expands uncontrollably.
- Project delays: Misunderstandings result in time-consuming revisions.
Types of Requirements
- Functional Requirements: Define what the system should do (e.g., features, operations).
- Non-Functional Requirements: Define system performance (e.g., security, reliability).
- User Requirements: Descriptions from the users' perspective.
Conclusion
- Requirements are essential for project success.
- Good requirements minimize risks, save time, and ensure stakeholder satisfaction.
- Investing time in eliciting requirements is crucial for any software project.
