Study Notes
Transition Requirements
- Transition requirements must be finalized after the design of the selected solution is complete.
- Example: Sales personnel must complete a two-day new customer acquisition program prior to utilizing the new sales support system.
- Example: Existing customer data will remain in both old and new database formats until the end of the first quarter.
Requirements Development
Elicitation
- Elicitation involves discovering requirements via activities like interviews, workshops, and document analysis.
- Identify user classes and stakeholders to understand their tasks and business objectives.
- Learn about the operational environment of the new product.
- Collaborate with representatives of each user class to grasp functionality needs and quality expectations.
Analysis
- Analyzing requirements enhances the understanding of each requirement and presents them in diverse formats.
- Differentiate between task goals, functional requirements, quality expectations, and business rules during analysis.
- Decompose high-level requirements to appropriate levels of detail.
- Derive functional requirements from existing information.
Specification
- Specification entails organizing and representing collected requirements in a persistent manner.
- Translate user needs into formal written requirements and diagrams for clarity and review.
Validation
- Validation confirms the correctness of collected requirements, ensuring they align with business objectives.
- Review documented requirements to identify and rectify issues before acceptance by developers.
- Develop acceptance tests and criteria to ensure a product meets customer needs.
Iterative Requirements Development
- Iteration is crucial for successful requirements development, involving multiple cycles of requirements exploration.
- Gradually refine high-level requirements into detailed specifications, confirming accuracy with users.
- The iterative process addresses the inherent uncertainty of defining new software systems, emphasizing that perfect requirements are unattainable.
Importance of Requirements
- Requirements form the foundation of information systems; a solid foundation is essential for successful system construction.
- Prioritize and allocate requirements effectively, and negotiate implementation priorities to address any gaps or redundancies.
