Requirements Engineering

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.

As the first to focus on the issue of Data Warehouse Requirements Engineering, this book introduces a model-driven requirements process used to identify requirements granules and incrementally develop data warehouse fragments. In addition, it presents an approach to the pair-wise integration of requirements granules for consolidating multiple data warehouse fragments. The process is systematic and does away with the fuzziness associated with existing techniques. Thus, consolidation is treated as a requirements engineering issue.

"The Information Society" that we live in today is largely driven by the products and services that either contain software as a core element, or are themselves software. At the very least, it is likely that most of those same products and services were manufactured with the help of some type of sophisticated software applications.

Dieses Buch zeigt ein systematisches, mit aktuellen Standards konformes Vorgehen für die gesamte Anforderungsanalyse bzw. das Requirements Engineering. Dieses Vorgehen wird durch konkrete Beispiele und zwei durchgängige, nicht zu einfache Fallstudien illustriert: das Buchportal und das Fitness-Armband. Die verwendeten Vorlagen sowie agilen und nichtagilen Techniken haben sich in der Praxis bewährt. So können Sie heute schon anfangen, diese Techniken anzuwenden!
