Preface
We intend that this book provide you with a practical approach to gathering, analyzing, specifying, and managing software requirements throughout the software's life cycle.
If you are an analyst responsible for specifying requirements from which software systems are built, we think you will find a straightforward and effective approach to meeting the demands of the users you work with and the developers and testers you deliver specifications to.
If you are a developer responsible for building software systems from requirements specifications, we think you will find an effective way to communicate all software requirements in a coherent and easy-to-follow manner.
If you are a tester responsible for testing software systems from a specification, we think you'll find that the specifications described in this book provide a complete and clear control flow model of the entire system, allowing you to systematically develop tests. We also believe you will find that the requirements artifacts described in this book will allow you to learn a new system quickly and thoroughly.
If you are a manager of software development or testing, we think you will find that the establishment and maintenance of requirements artifacts will ensure that you can always quickly bring new people up to speed on your systems. We also believe you will find a practical approach to shortening the time it takes to specify software requirements while maintaining your organization's intellectual property.
