Question English Answer English
What is Requirements Specification?
start learning
The process of writing down the user and system requirements in a requirements document
what are the key qualities of an Ideal Requirements Specification?
start learning
Clear Unambiguous Easy to understand Complete Consistent
what are the sections of a structured specification?
start learning
Description of the function specified Description of inputs and their source Description of outputs and their source Information needed for running the function Description of action to be taken Description of consequences or side-effects of the function
what are the problems of natural language?
start learning
Lack of clarity Ambiguity Context dependency
what is an entity relationship diagram (ERD)?
start learning
Techniques that identifies a system’s entities and the relationship between those entities
what are ERD entities?
start learning
people, places, items, events, concepts
what are ERD Attributes?
start learning
properties or descriptive qualities of an entity
What are ERD Relationships?
start learning
nks between different entities
What are Decisison Tables?
start learning
Technique for specifying complex if-then conditions
name some mathematical methods?
start learning
Recurrence relations Axiomatic definition Formal specifications Implicit equations Regular expressions
What are Mathematical methods?
start learning
Describes both static and dynamic aspects of the system
What is Requirements Validation?
start learning
The process of “checking that requirements actually define the system that the customer really wants” (Sommerville)
List the Requirements Validation Checks
start learning
Consistency checks, Completeness checks, Realism checks, Verifiability.
What is a consistence check?
start learning
Consistency checks: requirements should not conflict
What is a compleatness check?
start learning
Completeness checks: all functions and constraints need to be defined
What is a realism check?
start learning
Realism checks: make sure the requirements can be implemented
What is a Verifiability check?
start learning
Verifiability: requirements should always be written so that they are verifiable/testable
list 3 requirments validation techniques.
start learning
Requirements reviews, Prototyping, Test-case generation.
What is a Requirements reviews?
start learning
systematic analysis of requirements by a team of reviewers
what is prototyping?
start learning
Prototyping: an executable model of the system is demonstrated to users/customers
what is Test-case generation:
start learning
Test-case generation: derive tests for each of the requirements
What is requirements management?
start learning
The process of “understanding and controlling changes to system requirements”
