Beschreibung
Learn how to create good requirements when designing hardware and software systems. While this book emphasizes writing traditional “shall” statements, it also provides guidance on use case design and creating user stories in support of agile methodologies. The book surveys modeling techniques and various tools that support requirements collection and analysis. You’ll learn to manage requirements, including discussions of document types and digital approaches using spreadsheets, generic databases, and dedicated requirements tools. Good, clear examples are presented, many related to real-world work the author has done during his career.
Requirements Writing for System Engineering covers techniques for defining user needs so you can determine which combination of approaches to use for your projects. You’ll also learn how to analyze different development methodologies so that you can determine the advantages and disadvantages of different requirements approaches andimplement them correctly as your needs evolve. Unlike most requirements books, Requirements Writing for System Engineering teaches writing both hardware and software requirements because many projects include both areas. To exemplify this approach, two example projects are developed throughout the book, one focusing on hardware and the other on software.
This book
- Presents many techniques for capturing requirements.
- Demonstrates gap analysis to find missing requirements.
- Shows how to address both software and hardware, as most projects involve both.
- Provides extensive examples of “shall” statements, user stories, and use cases.
- Explains how to supplement or replace traditional requirement statements with user stories and use cases that work well in agile development environments
Requirements Writing for System Engineering shows a beginner how to collect, craft, and maintain requirements correctly and completely. Problems with requirements are analyzed, and techniques are presented to mitigate and prevent these problems. Written requirements are essential to large software projects, and especially when those projects are government funded. Anyone aiming to sell software services to State and Federal governments will find much in this book to give them an edge on their competition. Indeed, more than edge. Those lacking what this book covers will find themselves not even in consideration, and missing out completely on lucrative government contracts. Writing Requirements is essential in scoping a software project, protecting the contractor from overruns, and ensuring that all needs are met.
Presents 13 techniques for capturing requirements Demonstrates gap analysis to find missing requirements Shows how to address both software and hardware needs Provides extensive examples of 'shall' statements, user stories, and use cases
