    Requirement Engineering
    Requirement Engineering is the disciplined application of
    proven principles, methods, tools, and notations to describe a
    proposed system’s intended behavior and its associated
    constraints.
    SRS may act as a contract between developer and customer.

    State of practice
    Requirements are difficult to uncover
    • Requirements change
    • Over reliance on CASE Tools
    • Tight project Schedule
    • Communication barriers
    • Market driven software development
    • Lack of resources

    Requirement Engineering
    Example

    A University wish to develop a software system for the


    student result management of its M.Tech. Programme. A
    problem statement is to be prepared for the software
    development company. The problem statement may give
    an overview of the existing system and broad expectations
    from the new software system.

    Types of Requirements
    Functional requirements describe what the software has to
    do. They are often called product features.
    Non Functional requirements are mostly quality
    requirements. That stipulate how well the software does,
    what it has to do.
    Availability
    Reliability
    For Users
    Usability
    Flexibility

    Maintainability
    Portability For Developers
    Testability

    Types of Requirements
    User and system requirements
    • User requirement are written for the users and include
    functional and non functional requirement.
    • System requirement are derived from user requirement.
    • The user system requirements are the parts of software
    requirement and specification (SRS) document.
