Requirements Management - Steps Requirement Elicitation Requirement Analysis Requirement Specification Requirement Validation / SET Seminar
Requirements Evolution • Royce 1970, “Waterfall model”. • What is requirements evolution? In which stage does requirements evolution begin? / SET Seminar
Requirements Evolution Cycle / SET Seminar
Driving factors for Requirements Evolution Users need change Changes in the environment Adoption of new technologies Co-operative computing / SET Seminar
Is the requirement acceptable? / SET Seminar
Change Management Process to implement changes in the system. Changes need to be formally introduced and approved. Request For Change(RFC) form / SET Seminar
Change management / SET Seminar
Non functional requirements Why are non-functional requirements(NFR) important? NFRs are often neglected or forgotten. Ineffectively dealing with NFRs can lead to a series of failures in software development. / SET Seminar
The need of the hour A methodical process to assess the consequences of the requirement change. Emphasis on Non-functional requirements. Practical guidelines to accept or reject the proposed change. / SET Seminar
Types of changes / SET Seminar
Process Model Requirement Change Identify change Sequence of steps for handling new or changing requirements during life time of a system. / SET Seminar
Environment Change Identify change in the environment Analyze the change for its effects. / SET Seminar
Requirement Change Identify the possible requirement change to the existing system. / SET Seminar
Impact Analysis • Impact of requirement changes on • Non-functional requirements associated with the proposed change. • Viewpoints of each stakeholder. / SET Seminar
Design Change Identify implications to the existing design of the system. / SET Seminar
Further tasks • Refinement of the process model. • Application of the model on a case study and identify the various non-functional requirements which led to its failure. • E.g. London Ambulance Service Computerised Despatch System(LASCDS) / SET Seminar
Summary Requirements evolution is a continuous process. Various factors drive the initiation of requirements evolution. Acceptance of these changes is a critical task. Non functional requirements play a big role in system ‘well-being’. A practical method/guidelines is a necessary for decision over acceptance of such changes. / SET Seminar
