| Summary |
"The focus of software engineering is moving from writing reliable large-scale software to ensuring that this software meets the needs of the users for whom it was designed. Investigating and describing the (often changing) requirements and their context, together with the determination and documentation of the characteristics of a system that will meet those requirements, is the domain of requirements engineering. This book is intended to undergraduates encountering software requirements engineering for the first time. It is a hard subject for which there is no formulaic approach. It therefore begins with small, relatively simple case studies and builds on these to provide the opportunities to scale up this expertise to large industrial projects. The foundations, so often glossed over, are carefully developed to give the reader an understanding of why particular approaches and techniques are appropriate in different situations." -- BACK COVER |
