Exploring Requirements 2: First Steps into Design
Exploring Requirements 2: First Steps into Design Review
Exploring Requirements 2: First Steps into Design Feature
John von Neumann once said, "There's no sense being exact about something if you don't even know what you're talking about." In a world that is growing increasingly dependent on highly complex, computer-based systems, the importance of defining what you want to make before making it—that is, knowing what you're talking about—cannot be stressed enough.
Here's the second volume of an innovative book that gives you the understanding you need to give people the solutions they want. The collaborative team of Gause and Weinberg tells how you can assure the requirements are right—before the product is designed.
Written by two recognized authorities in the field, this book is a collection of ideas developed, refined, and tested during their more than sixty combined years of work with both large and small organizations.
The techniques formulated in Exploring Requirements are not confined to software development; they have been used effectively to develop a wide range of products and systems—from computer software to furniture, books, and buildings.
Systems analysts and anyone involved with the challenges of the requirements process will greatly benefit from this book.
Renowned leaders in the software industry have this to say about Exploring Requirements:
"Anyone who wants to build a product should understand this book."—Watts S. Humphrey, SEI
"Consciousness raising for systems analysts." —Tom Demarco, Atlantic Systems Guild
". . . a superb new book on systems analysis. . . . you simply must read and absorb this gem. It complements every brand-name systems analysis methodology currently being practiced." —Ed Yourdon, American Programmer
". . . provides an excellent set of principles amply illustrated by relevant and thought-provoking examples."—Barry Boehm, UCLA
"The title lays it out, that exploring requirements does imply quality before design, and the text provides the social, psychological, and intellectual processes to carry it out. Gause and Weinberg are unique in their experiences and abilities in the subject."— Harlan D. Mills, Florida Institute of Technology

Mastering the Requirements Process (2nd Edition)
Mastering the Requirements Process (2nd Edition) Review
Mastering the Requirements Process (2nd Edition) Feature
"If the purpose is to create one of the best books on requirements yet written, the authors have succeeded."
—Capers Jones
It is widely recognized that incorrect requirements account for up to 60 percent of errors in software products, and yet the majority of software development organizations do not have a formal requirements process. Many organizations appear willing to spend huge amounts on fixing and altering poorly specified software, but seem unwilling to invest a much smaller amount to get the requirements right in the first place.
Mastering the Requirements Process, Second Edition, sets out an industry-proven process for gathering and verifying requirements with an eye toward today's agile development environments. In this total update of the bestselling guide, the authors show how to discover precisely what the customer wants and needs while doing the minimum requirements work according to the project's level of agility.
Features include
- The Volere requirements process—completely specified, and revised for compatibility with agile environments
- A specification template that can be used as the basis for your own requirements specifications
- New agility ratings that help you funnel your efforts into only the requirements work needed for your particular development environment and project
- How to make requirements testable using fit criteria
- Iterative requirements gathering leading to faster delivery to the client
- Checklists to help identify stakeholders, users, nonfunctional requirements, and more
- Details on gathering and implementing requirements for iterative releases
- An expanded project sociology section for help with identifying and communicating with stakeholders
- Strategies for exploiting use cases to determine the best product to build
- Methods for reusing requirements and requirements patterns
- Examples showing how the techniques and templates are applied in real-world situations

System Requirements Engineering (McGraw-Hill International Software Quality Assurance Series) Review
System Requirements Engineering (McGraw-Hill International Software Quality Assurance Series) Feature
This book presents a balanced view of the issues, concepts, models, techniques and tools found in requirements engineering and practice. It considers requirements as a combination of three concurrent and interacting processes: eliciting knowledge related to a problem domain, ensuring the validity of such knowledge and specifying the problem in a formal way.
