Requirements Engineering and Management for Software Development Projects

Requirements Engineering and Management for Software Development Projects presents a complete guide on requirements for software development including engineering, computer science and management activities. It is the first book to cover all aspects of requirements management in software development projects. This book introduces the understanding of the requirements, elicitation and gathering, requirements analysis, verification and validation of the requirements, establishment of requirements, different methodologies in brief, requirements traceability and change management among other topics. The best practices, pitfalls, and metrics used for efficient software requirements management are also covered. Intended for the professional market, including software engineers, programmers, designers and researchers, this book is also suitable for advanced-level students in computer science or engineering courses as a textbook or reference.

From the reviews:

“The book details a useful taxonomy for the successful specification, classification, and documentation of project functional requirements. ... Although the author designed the book to be a useful textbook for students, it should also be useful for project managers who need to understand that quality results don’t just happen; they must be designed, and a successful design is built on a thorough and detailed analysis of requirements and specifications.” (David Bruce Henderson, Computing Reviews, June, 2013)
