Study Notes
Software Requirements Engineering
- Course code: ISB26404
- Instructor: Sugi
Requirements Elicitation
- Definition: Requirements elicitation is the process of identifying and understanding stakeholder needs to define software requirements.
- Key Aspects:
- Collaboration with stakeholders.
- Discovering explicit and implicit requirements.
- Iterative and ongoing throughout the project lifecycle.
- Explicit requirements: Clearly stated features/functionalities.
- Implicit requirements: Requirements not stated but needed to be elicited further.
Why Requirements Elicitation is Important
- Forms the foundation for system design and development.
- Helps identify potential risks early.
- Ensures alignment with business goals and user expectations.
- Reduces costly rework in later stages.
Elicitation Activities
- Preparation: Planning and selecting techniques.
- Tasks: Identifying stakeholders, selecting techniques, defining objective elicitation, preparing questions/checklist/document for stakeholders.
- Elicitation: Gathering information from stakeholders.
- Tasks: Implementing elicitation techniques.
- Output: Data/information for further analysis.
- Documentation: Recording and organizing elicited requirements.
- Tasks: Analyzing data/information, organizing requirements (FR, QR, CR), documenting in relevant format (SRS).
- Validation: Ensuring requirements meet stakeholder needs.
- Tasks: Review sessions, gain feedback from stakeholders.
Elicitation Techniques Overview
