Product Description
Product Description
Written for those who want to develop their knowledge of requirements engineering process, whether practitioners or students. Using the latest research and driven by practical experience from industry, this book gives useful hints to practitioners on how to write and structure requirements.
- Explains the importance of Systems Engineering and the creation of effective solutions to problems
- Describes the underlying representations used in system modeling - data flow diagrams; statecharts; object-oriented approaches
- Covers a generic multi-layer requirements process
- Discusses the key elements of effective requirements management
- Includes a chapter written by one of the developers of rich traceability
- Introduces an overview of DOORS - a software tool which serves as an enabler of a requirements management process
Additional material and links are available at: http://www.requirementsengineering.info
"In recent years we have been finding ourselves with a shortage of engineers with good competence in requirements engineering. Perhaps this is in part because requirements management tool vendors have persuaded management that a glitzy tool will solve their requirements engineering problems. Of course, the tools only make it possible for engineers who understand requirements engineering to do a better job. This book goes a long way towards building a foundational set of skills in requirements engineering, so that today's powerful tools can be used sensibly. Of particular value is a recognition of the place software requirements have within the system context, and of ways for dealing with that sensitive connection. This is an important book. I think its particular value in industry will be to bring the requirements engineers and their internal customers to a practical common understanding of what can and should be achieved."

Excellent !,

This review is from: Requirements Engineering (Paperback)
This book presents in the space of some 200 pages, split into 9 chapters, a clear and concise introduction to a state-of-the-art approach to requirements engineering (RE). It starts out by introducing a generic RE process, which is then instatiated, later in the book, into concrete processes for generating stakeholder requirements (i.e. user requirements) and system requirements. The beautiful thing aboout this generic process (and the concrete ones to follow it) is that V&V and change management are intrinsically part of it. The authors are particularly strong in their treatment of traceability. They have gone into an unusual depth. The book has some good advice on writing better requirements . In particular, I find the idea of requirements boilerplates (i.e. templates for each class of requirements) extremely useful. The book concludes with an introduction/demonstration of the DOORS RE tool, from Telelogic (the affiliation of two of the authors). Overall, this is an excellent book that every requirements engineer, should have on their desk.

Practical application,
By MWW "MWW" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Requirements Engineering (Hardcover)
I work in a large financial institution with projects that span across lines of business. I train on process improvement and requirements is one of the key areas I focus on. This book is short and to the point. It provides good examples and is a great read for someone who is just starting out in requirements management or requirements documentation. It provides information on the management aspects of requirements work and practical advice on requirements ellicitation.

Classic and essential foundation,
By Ben Amaba - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Requirements Engineering (Hardcover)
The reference continues to be a classic and essential foundation for the growing requirements management domain, an area greatly needed in the complexity of software and systems engineering. It provides guidance to users, managers, developers, quality assurance, security experts, and analysts to overcome the basic challenges in systems development.
