Lecture 05 - Sre - Se2001 (Bse)

This document provides information about Dr. Syed Muazzam Ali Shah, an HEC approved Ph.D. supervisor and assistant professor in the Department of Software Engineering at NUCES-FAST Karachi. It lists his contact information and links to his website and Google Scholar profile. The document then discusses software requirements engineering processes, including examples of processes from other domains. It describes how RE processes can vary between organizations and projects based on factors like technical maturity, disciplinary involvement, organizational culture, and application domain. Finally, it discusses process models and the different needs process models aim to fulfill.

Requirements Engineering
Processes
3

What is a Process?

 A process is an organized set of activities, which


transforms inputs to outputs.
 We can use synonyms of process such as:
procedure, method, course of action, etc.
 Processes are essential for dealing with complexity in
real world.
4

What is a Process?

 Processes document the steps in solving a


certain problem.
 Descriptions of processes are very important
 They allow knowledge to be reused.
 They Allow people to apply the process in their
peculiar but similar problems.
5

Examples o f Processes
 An instruction manual for a kitchen dishwasher describes
the process of using that machine to clean dishes.
 Inputs: Pile of dirty dishes
 Outputs: Stack of clean dishes
 A cookery book describes a set of processes to prepare
and cook various types of meal.
 Inputs: Raw ingredients
 Outputs: Cooked meals
6

Examples o f Processes
 A quality manual for the software development describes
the processes which should be used to assure the quality
of the software.
 It may include descriptions of standards which are the
basis for the quality checking.
 Inputs: Documents & programs to be checked and
quality standards which must be followed
 Outputs: Report of quality assurance activities.
7

Software Processes
 Software engineering, as a discipline, has many
processes.
 These processes help in performing different
software engineering activities in an organized
manner.
8

Design Processes
 Requires creativity
 Provides interactions between a wide range of
different people
 Helps in engineering judgment
 Requires background knowledge
 Experience
Design Processes : 9

Examples
 Writing a book
 Organizing a conference
 Designing a processor chip
 Requirements engineering
Design Processes : 10

Examples
 Software engineering development process
(SDLC)
 Requirements engineering (RE) process
 Design process
 Quality assurance process
 Change management process

RE Process Variability 13

 RE processes vary radically from one organization to


another, and even within an organization in different
projects
 Unstructured process rely heavily on the experience
of the people, while systematic processes are based
on application of some analysis methodology , but
they still require human judgment.
Variability Factors 14

There are four factors which count towards the


variability of the Requirements Engineering
Process

 Technical maturity
 Disciplinary involvement
 Organizational culture
 Application domain
Variability Factors 15

 Technical maturity:
 The technologies and methods used for
requirements engineering vary from one
organization to other

 Disciplinary involvement:
 The types of engineering and managerial
disciplines involved in requirements vary from one
organization to another
Variability Factors 16

 Organizational culture:
 The culture of an organization has important effect
on all business and technical processes

 Application domain:
 Different types of application system need different
types of requirements engineering process
Process Model 17

 A process model is a simplified description of a


process presented from a particular perspective.
 There may be several different models of the
same process.
 No single model gives a complete understanding
of the process being modeled.
Variations in Process Model 18

A process model is produced on the anticipated


need for that model. We may need
 A model to help explain how process
information has been organized.
 A model to help understand and improve a
process.
 A model to satisfy some quality management
standard.
