Synopsis

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, Requirements Engineering gives useful hints to practitioners on how to write and structure requirements.  It explains the importance of Systems Engineering and the creation of effective solutions to problems.  It describes the underlying representations used in system modeling and introduces the UML2, and considers the relationship between requirements and modeling.  Covering a generic multi-layer requirements process, the book discusses the key elements of effective requirements management.  The latest version of DOORS (Version 7) - a software tool which serves as an enabler of a requirements management process - is also introduced to the reader here.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Updated with new developments, ideas and thinking, as well as new tool descriptions, the fourth edition of this popular book is driven by practical experience from industry. It provides invaluable information on how to write and structure requirements, whilst explaining the importance of Systems Engineering and the creation of effective solutions to problems.

This edition contains an expanded discussion of “design agnosticism” as an important principle in Requirements Engineering, and new insights regarding the validation and verification process in the context of the Systems Engineering “V” model. Further new elements include a discussion of SysML in the chapter on modelling techniques, and the use of SysML diagrams to present the generic process. Readers will also discover the latest thinking on requirements flow-down and rich traceability and an update to the chapter on tools to present DOORS Next Generation.

Requirements Engineering is written by practitioners for practitioners and students who want to develop their knowledge of the subject area.
