Analysis Concepts and Principle

Requirements Analysis Five Activities Problem recognition Evaluation and synthesis Modeling Specification Review

Problem Recognition Some problems to overcome Understanding what the customer really wants Getting inside the customers requirements “us-them” paradigm rather than “we” Federal Acquisition Regulations (FARs) Require customer to prepare specifications Limit discussion between customer and supplier during bidding process.

Techniques for Requirements Acquisition Facilitated Application Specification Techniques (FAST) Meeting (often at neutral site) Establish meeting rules Agenda to cover important points a "facilitator" (can be a customer, a developer, or an outsider) controls the meeting a "definition mechanism" (can be work sheets, flip charts, or wall stickers or an electronic bulletin board, chat room or virtual forum) is used the goal is to identify the problem propose elements of the solution negotiate different approaches, and specify a preliminary set of solution requirements To set some ground rules for out customer-developer meeting. Develop the best estimate of process flow diagrams to help them understand and help generate questions. Develop ACDs where feasible. Prepare some architecture flow diagrams, if possible. Be prepared to show some of these to create a framework for asking questions. Construct a few scenarios of what you think is happening. You can almost think of process flow diagrams as an organized way to describe scenarios of what is going on. Luz to take notes -- to be distributed. Agenda RAV - read problem statement again. Open floor to questions RAV moderate Ask for volunteer groups to show process flow diagrams.

Techniques for Requirements Acquisition Facilitated Application Specification Techniques (FAST) Refinement with subgroups

Techniques for Requirements Acquisition Quality Function Deployment Normal Requirements What will make customer happy Expected Requirements Unstated requirements that are so “obvious” that they need not be stated Unexpected Requirements Enhancements beyond customer requirements Concept developed by the Japanese

Quality Function Deployment Function deployment determines the “value” (as perceived by the customer) of each function required of the system Information deployment identifies data objects and events (tied to functions) Task deployment examines the behavior of the system Value analysis determines the relative priority of requirements

Elicitation Work Products a statement of need and feasibility. a bounded statement of scope for the system or product. a list of customers, users, and other stakeholders who participated in requirements elicitation a description of the system’s technical environment. a list of requirements (preferably organized by function) and the domain constraints that apply to each. a set of usage scenarios that provide insight into the use of the system or product under different operating conditions. any prototypes developed to better define requirements.

Use-Cases A collection of user scenarios that describe the thread of usage of a system Each scenario is described from the point-of-view of an “actor”—a person or device that interacts with the software in some way Each scenario answers the following questions: Who is the primary actor, the secondary actor (s)? What are the actor’s goals? What preconditions should exist before the story begins? What main tasks or functions are performed by the actor? What extensions might be considered as the story is described? What variations in the actor’s interaction are possible? What system information will the actor acquire, produce, or change? Will the actor have to inform the system about changes in the external environment? What information does the actor desire from the system? Does the actor wish to be informed about unexpected changes?

Use-Case Diagram

Analysis Principles Basic principles Represent and understand information domain Define functions that must be performed Represent behavior of software (to external events) Partition information, function and behavior models hierarchically Move from essential information to implementation detail

Guiding Principles Understand problem before analysis Develop prototypes for HCI Record origin and reason for every requirement Develop multiple views of each requirement Data, functional and behavioral models Determine priorities of requirements Eliminate ambiguity (by conducting formal technical reviews) Note KSC CLCS problem of lack of rationale documentation on earlier system.

Information Domain Software processes data Payroll processing Computing control signals for radar system Software also processes events Timer went off -- time to calculate a control Sensor turned on -- indicates intruder Heart rate monitor exceeded threshold -- indicates fibrillation.

Information Domain Three views of information Process Models Information content Information flow Information structure Process Models Functional -- possibly show block diagrams Behavioral -- define states and transitions Try to show models diagrammatically

Partitioning Note distinction between essential and implementation views. Essential view captures the conceptual ideas, but omits the details.

State Diagram

Prototyping Highly desirable Types of prototypes Clarify requirements Identify missing requirements Help define user interfaces Types of prototypes Throwaway Evolutionary -- a potential problem is that intended throwaways become evolutionary

Prototyping Important questions underlying prototyping Customer commitment -- must be involved Must commit resources for evaluation Must be capable of making requirements decisions in timely manner

Prototyping Methods and tools Fourth Generation Techniques -- program application generators Reusable Software Components -- build from existing components Formal Specification and Prototyping Environments Translate specifications into code

Specifications Separate Function from Implementation Develop Model Define Environment Define how software interacts with environ. Create Cognitive model -- how world sees it Recognize specs as imperfect Flexibility -- be amenable to change

Representation Format and content relevant to problem Information should be nested Multiple layers or levels Diagrams should be consistent in use Representations should be revisable

Requirements Specifications Documentation

Specifications Review Macroscopic Level View from the top Goals met ? Alternatives explored ? Customer satisfied ? Specifics Avoid persuasive, intimidating connectors Ambiguous words Vague language Watch for unstated assumptions

Validating Requirements-I Is each requirement consistent with the overall objective for the system/product? Have all requirements been specified at the proper level of abstraction? That is, do some requirements provide a level of technical detail that is inappropriate at this stage? Is the requirement really necessary or does it represent an add-on feature that may not be essential to the objective of the system? Is each requirement bounded and unambiguous? Does each requirement have attribution? That is, is a source (generally, a specific individual) noted for each requirement? Do any requirements conflict with other requirements

Validating Requirements-II Is each requirement achievable in the technical environment that will house the system or product? Is each requirement testable, once implemented? Does the requirements model properly reflect the information, function and behavior of the system to be built. Has the requirements model been “partitioned” in a way that exposes progressively more detailed information about the system. Have requirements patterns been used to simplify the requirements model. Have all patterns been properly validated? Are all patterns consistent with customer requirements?
