Up-to-date, practical guide to gathering and managing requirements throughout
the product development cycle
Have you ever delivered software that satisfied all the project specifications—and
seemingly none of the customer’s expectations? As a customer, do you find yourself
guessing exactly what kind of information developers need from you? Without
formal, verifiable requirements—and a system for managing them—the result is
usually a gap between what developers think they’re supposed to build and what
customers think they’re going to get. In SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS, Second Edition,
you’ll discover practical, proven techniques for managing the requirements engineering
process all the way through the development cycle. The author, a leading speaker
and consultant in the field of requirements engineering, has expanded his award-winning
book with more real-world case examples, up-to-date coverage of use cases and
commercially available tools, additional practice exercises, and a new troubleshooting
guide. He’s also refined his own set of tools and templates for facilitating
that all-important communication among users, developers, and management. No
matter what kind of software you build or what your role in the development
process, SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS, Second Edition, delivers the expert tools and
guidance you need to engineer software success!
