Software Requirements 2
Book Description
Without formal, verifiable software
requirements—and an effective system for managing them—the programs that
developers think they’ve agreed to build often will not be the same
products their customers are expecting. In SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS, Second
Edition, requirements engineering authority Karl Wiegers amplifies the
best practices presented in his original award-winning text?now a
mainstay for anyone participating in the software development process.
In this book, you’ll discover effective techniques for managing the requirements engineering process all the way through the development cycle—including dozens of techniques to facilitate that all-important communication between users, developers, and management. This updated edition features new case examples, anecdotes culled from the author’s extensive consulting career, and specific Next Steps for putting the book’s process-improvement principles into practice. You’ll also find several new chapters, sample documents, and an incisive troubleshooting guide.
