| Overview |
In a software development project, a shared understanding of user and other stakeholders needs and how the software system meets these needs is a central success factor. This course introduces the students to the fundaments of requirements elicitation, analysis, validation, and management that allow achieving a shared understanding and familiarizes the students with state-of-the-art requirements specification.
Requirements Engineering (RE) Practices:
- RE terminology and process
- Development of the vision for a software system
- Business and context analysis
- Prototype- and scenario-based workshops
- Reviews of requirements specifications
- Prioritization and effort estimation
- Managing requirements and traceability
Requirements Specification Languages:
- Shall-, User Story-, and Use Case-templates
- UML Use Case, Class, Activity, and State Machine diagrams
- BPMN diagrams
- Quantification and operationalization of quality requirements
