  37. Research Plan Activities: Completing the Requirement Specification & Verification Survey. Completing the role identification of Formalism in it. Identifying related open problems. Preparing proposal document Outputs: Submit a paper entitled “How Z helps to specify the requirements of engineering software” to 18th IEEE International Requirements Engineering Conference (RE10), September 27th – October 1st , 2010, Sydney, Australia. Submit a paper entitled “Requirements Engineering: Trends and Issues” to Requirements Engineering Journal, Springer, ISSN: 0947-3602. Formal Requirement Specification (FRS) Technical Report Oral Comprehensive Exam

  38. Requirements Elicitation Elicitation / capture / discovery / acquisition The first stage in considering the problem the software system should be able to solve. After system engineering process which defines the context and goal of the software. The task: establishing of boundaries and requirements for the software system. Carried out by: interaction with stakeholders and detailed studying of corresponding knowledge domains. A human activity.  Oral Comprehensive Exam

  39. Requirements Elicitation (Cont.) The most widespread techniques are: interviews, scenarios, prototypes, facilitated meetings, observation, etc.  Oral Comprehensive Exam

  40. Requirements Analysis After requirements were discovered they must be analyzed to: Necessity (need for the requirement); Detect and resolve drawbacks in them (for example, consistency, conflicts, ambiguity situations, completeness, etc); Improve their quality; They must be structured and refined; Discover the bounds and properties of the system; Discover how system will interact with the environment; Another necessary analysis.  Oral Comprehensive Exam

  41. Requirements Analysis (Cont.) The most widespread techniques are: Negotiation classification, conceptual modeling, Object Oriented Modeling UML prioritization, etc.  Oral Comprehensive Exam

  42. Requirements Specification Software Requirements Specifications (SRS): a complete description of the behavior of the system to be developed will assist the potential users to determine if the software specified meets their needs or how the software must be modified to meet their needs Includes a set of use cases describe all of the interactions that users will have with the software, numerical values, limits and measurable attributes which may be checked on the working system.  Oral Comprehensive Exam

  43. Requirements Specification (Cont.) The basic issues that the SRS writer (s) shall address: Functionality. What is the software supposed to do? External interfaces. How does the software interact with people, the system‘s hardware, other hardware, and other software? Performance. What is the speed, availability, response time, recovery time of various software functions, etc.? Attributes. What are the portability, correctness, maintainability, security, etc. considerations? Design constraints imposed on an implementation. Are there any required standards in effect, implementation language, policies for database integrity, resource limits, operating environment(s) etc.?  Oral Comprehensive Exam

  44. An SRS should be: Correct Unambiguous Complete Consistent Ranked for importance and/or stability Verifiable there exists some finite cost-effective process with which a person or machine can check that the software product meets the requirement Modifiable Traceable the origin of each of its requirements is clear and It facilitates the referencing of each requirement in future development or enhancement documentation. Requirements Specification (Cont.)  Oral Comprehensive Exam

  45. Requirements Specification (Cont.) The corresponding techniques may be divided into two separate major classes: Natural Language (NL) based Drawback difficult for automated processing based on special languages universal approaches Unified Modeling Language domain dependent Z Notation, B-Method) drawback difficult for non-experts to understand Which limits their practical application.  Oral Comprehensive Exam

  46. Validation & Verification Verifying a system: Building the system right: Ensuring that the system complies with the system requirements and conforms to its design. Validating a system: Building the right system: making sure that the system does what it is supposed to do in its intended environment. determines the correctness and completeness of the end product, ensures that the system will satisfy the actual needs of the stakeholders.  Oral Comprehensive Exam

  47. Oral Comprehensive Exam

  48. Validation & Verification (Continue) Verifying requirements: Proving that each requirement has been satisfied. can be done by logical argument, inspection, modeling, simulation, analysis, expert review, test or demonstration.  Oral Comprehensive Exam

  49. Validation & Verification (Continue) Validating requirements: Ensuring that the set of requirements is correct, complete, and consistent, a model can be created that satisfies the requirements a real-world solution can be built and tested to prove that it satisfies the requirements. If RE discovers that the customer has requested a perpetual-motion machine, the project should be stopped.  Oral Comprehensive Exam

  50. Validation & Verification (Continue) Validation to ensure that the software engineer has correctly understood the customer‘s requirements and needs. for conformance with company standards To ensure that the requirements are understandable, consistent, complete. Formal notations offer the important advantage of permitting the above properties to be proven  Oral Comprehensive Exam
