Question 3 (5 points): [TRUE/FALSE]: Read each statement below carefully.
Place a T on the line if you think a statement it TRUE. Place an F on the line if
you think the statement is FALSE.
1. The fundamental activities in software processes are: specification, development
and validation.
2. In Incremental development, increments serve as examples to explore
requirements.
3. In Agile Development, responding to change is more important than following a
plan.
4. A Prototype can be used in the requirement engineering process to help with
requirements elicitation and validation and in the design processes to explore design
options and develop a User Interface (UI) design.
5. The principal requirements engineering activities are: Feasibility study;
Requirements elicitation and analysis; Requirements validation.
6. The system shall be available in Arabic, English, and French is an example of
functional requirements.
7. The system shall support minimum 1000 transactions per hour is an example of
product efficiency requirements.
8. In the waterfall model, it is assumed that all the requirements can be elicited at the
beginning of the project.
9. Consider the following requirement specification fragment for a ticket-issuing
system “Once a destination has been selected, users are requested to input their credit
card. Its validity is checked and the user is then requested to input a personal identifier.
When the credit transaction has been validated, the ticket is issued." This is a functional
requirement.
10. Consider the following requirement specification fragment for a ticket-issuing
system
"Between 0600 and 2300 in any one day, the total system down time should not exceed 2
minutes". This is a reliability requirement.
Question 4 [9 points]: Suppose that you were asked to make an interview with
a medical receptionist and a manager of a clinic to collect some requirements
about a new appointments' management system. The appointments'
management system allows the patients to book their appointments online
through a mobile app.
The following are the interview notes:
Notes from the receptionist: "...We daily receive a large number of calls from patients to book
appointments, each patient takes about 10 minutes to choose a suitable day and time. So, we
want the patients themselves to be able to book their appointments through a mobile application
that can run on different types of devices. We want them to be able to see the available time slots
and book appointments that best suits them."
Notes from the manager: "... We already have a system in our clinic with a large database for
patients and staff, so the new system should not be very large as we have limited space on the
server"
a. Identify all the functional user requirements from the receptionist's notes. (2 mark)

b. Identify one goal from the receptionist notes. (I mark)

c. Write a verifiable non-functional requirement for the goal identified in B above. (I

mark)

d. Identify one non-functional requirement from the manager's notes. (1 mark)

e. State the type of the non-function requirement identified in D. (1 mark)

f. In general, what are the problems of domain requirements? (1 mark)

g. Who are the readers of system requirements? (2 marks)

Question 5 [2 points]: When would you recommend the use of an agile

method for developing a software system? Explain your answer.
