Chapter 4 – Requirements Engineering

Chapter 4 Requirements engineering Topics covered Functional and non-functional requirements The software requirements document Requirements specification Requirements engineering processes Requirements elicitation and analysis Requirements validation Requirements management Chapter 4 Requirements engineering

Requirements engineering The requirements for a system are the descriptions of what the system should do the services that it provides and the constraints on its operation. These requirements reflect the needs of customers for a system that serves a certain purpose such as controlling a device, placing an order, or finding information. The process of finding out, analyzing, documenting and checking these services and constraints is ( called requirements engineering (RE). Chapter 4 Requirements engineering

Requirements engineering Some of the problems that arise during the requirements engineering process are a result of failing to make a clear separation between User requirements and system requirements . User requirements and system requirements may be defined as follows: Chapter 4 Requirements engineering

User requirements and system requirements Statements in natural language plus diagrams of the services the system provides and its operational constraints. Written for customers. System requirements A structured document setting out detailed descriptions of the system’s functions, services and operational constraints. Defines what should be implemented so may be part of a contract between client and contractor. Chapter 4 Requirements engineering

User and system requirements Chapter 4 Requirements engineering

Chapter 4 Requirements engineering Types of Requirements Functional requirements Statements of services the system should provide, how the system should react to particular inputs and how the system should behave in particular situations. May state what the system should not do. Non-functional requirements Constraints on the services or functions offered by the system such as timing constraints, constraints on the development process, standards, etc. Often apply to the system as a whole rather than individual features or services. Chapter 4 Requirements engineering

Functional requirements - The functional requirements for a system describe what the system should do. - These requirements depend on the type of software being developed, the expected users of the software, and the general approach taken by the organization when writing requirements. - Functional requirements are usually described in an abstract way that can be understood by system users. However, more specific functional system requirements describe the system functions, its inputs and outputs, exceptions, etc . Chapter 4 Requirements engineering

Functional requirements for the MHC-PMS A user shall be able to search the appointments lists for all clinics. The system shall generate each day, for each clinic, a list of patients who are expected to attend appointments that day. Each staff member using the system shall be uniquely identified by his or her 8-digit employee number. Chapter 4 Requirements engineering

Requirements imprecision Problems arise when requirements are not precisely stated. Ambiguous requirements may be interpreted in different ways by developers and users. Consider the term ‘search’ in requirement 1 User intention – search for a patient name across all appointments in all clinics; Developer interpretation – search for a patient name in an individual clinic. User chooses clinic then search. Chapter 4 Requirements engineering

Requirements completeness and consistency In principle, requirements should be both complete and consistent. Complete They should include descriptions of all facilities required. Consistent There should be no conflicts or contradictions in the descriptions of the system facilities. In practice, it is impossible to produce a complete and consistent requirements document. Chapter 4 Requirements engineering

Non-functional requirements - Non-functional requirements, as the name suggests, are requirements that are not directly concerned with the specific services delivered by the system to its users. - They may relate to emergent system properties such as reliability, response time, and store occupancy. Alternatively, they may define constraints on the system implementation such as the capabilities of I/O devices or the data representations used in interfaces with other systems. - Non-functional requirements, such as performance, security, or availability, usually specify or constrain characteristics of the system as a whole. Non-functional requirements are often more critical than individual functional requirements Chapter 4 Requirements engineering

Types of nonfunctional requirement Chapter 4 Requirements engineering

Types of nonfunctional requirement Product requirements:- These requirements specify or constrain the behavior of the software . Examples include performance requirements on how fast the system must execute and how much memory it requires, etc. Organizational requirements These requirements are broad system requirements derived from policies and procedures in the customer’s and developer’s organization. Examples include operational process requirements that define how the system will be used, development process requirements that specify the programming language, the development environment or process standards to be used, and environmental requirements that specify the operating environment of the system. Chapter 4 Requirements engineering

Types of nonfunctional requirement External requirements Requirements that are derived from factors external to the system and its development process. for example legislative requirements that must be followed to ensure that the system operates within the law; and ethical requirements that ensure that the system will be acceptable to its users and the general public Chapter 4 Requirements engineering

Examples of nonfunctional requirements in the MHC-PMS Product requirement The MHC-PMS shall be available to all clinics during normal working hours (Mon–Fri, 0830–17.30). Downtime within normal working hours shall not exceed five seconds in any one day. Organizational requirement Users of the MHC-PMS system shall authenticate themselves using their health authority identity card. External requirement The system shall implement patient privacy provisions as set out in HStan-03-2006-priv. Chapter 4 Requirements engineering

Chapter 4 Requirements engineering Domain requirements The system’s operational domain imposes requirements on the system. For example, a train control system has to take into account the braking characteristics in different weather conditions. Domain requirements be new functional requirements, constraints on existing requirements or define specific computations. If domain requirements are not satisfied, the system may be unworkable. Chapter 4 Requirements engineering

Domain requirements problems Understand ability Requirements are expressed in the language of the application domain; This is often not understood by software engineers developing the system. Implicitness Domain specialists understand the area so well that they do not think of making the domain requirements explicit. Chapter 4 Requirements engineering
