CHAPTER 3

Requirements engineering
good practices
Objectives
• Student should enhance every stage in the requirement
development process framework and how to implement these
stages.
• Student should obtain a wide range of good practice in software
requirements to prepare for the next chapters
• Need to help student understand these practices aren’t suitable for
every situation, so use good judgment, common sense, and
experience. Even the best practices need to be selected, applied,
and adapted thoughtfully to appropriate situations by skilled
business analysts.
• Student must enhance that different practices might be most
appropriate for understanding the requirements for different
portions of a given project.
• Use cases and user interface prototypes might help for the client
side, whereas interface analysis is more valuable on the server
side…etc.
