+00:00:00,230 --> 00:00:03,200

+So, let's start with requirements engineering, which is the

+

+2

+00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,560

+field within software engineering that deals with establishing the

+

+3

+00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:09,400

+needs of stakeholders that are to be solved by

+

+4

+00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,480

+the software. So why is this phase so important?

+

+5

+00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,350

+In general, the cost of correcting an error depends

+

+6

+00:00:16,350 --> 00:00:19,060

+on the number of subsequent decisions that are based

+

+7

+00:00:19,060 --> 00:00:22,160

+on it. Therefore, errors made in understanding requirements have

+

+8

+00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,670

+the potential for greatest cost because many other design decisions

+

+9

+00:00:25,670 --> 00:00:29,020

+depend on them and many other follow up decisions depend on them.

+

+10

+00:00:29,020 --> 00:00:31,510

+In fact, if we look at this diagram, which is again a

+

+11

+00:00:31,510 --> 00:00:35,210

+qualitative diagram, where we have the cost of error correction over the

+

+12

+00:00:35,210 --> 00:00:38,780

+phase in which the error is discovered. We can see that if we

+

+13

+00:00:38,780 --> 00:00:42,420

+discover an error in requirements it's going to cost us one. If

+

+14

+00:00:42,420 --> 00:00:45,020

+we find it in in design it's going to cost us five and

+

+15

+00:00:45,020 --> 00:00:47,410

+so on and so forth. And the cost grows dramatically as we

+

+16

+00:00:47,410 --> 00:00:50,960

+go from the requirements phase to the maintenance phase. Why? Because of course

+

+17

+00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,092

+if we discover a problem here we're left to undo a

+

+18

+00:00:53,092 --> 00:00:55,536

+lot of the decision that we had made before to correct the

+

+19

+00:00:55,536 --> 00:00:58,019

+error. Whereas if we find an error here we can correct it

+

+20

+00:00:58,019 --> 00:01:01,380

+right away and we don't affect the subsequent phases. So how can

+

+21

+00:01:01,380 --> 00:01:03,540

+we collect the right requirements. Traditional

+

+22

+00:01:03,540 --> 00:01:05,310

+requirements in engineering does so through

+

+23

+00:01:05,310 --> 00:01:08,930

+a set of steps. The first step is elicitation which is the

+

+24

+00:01:08,930 --> 00:01:12,840

+collection of requirements from stake holders and other sources and can be

+

+25

+00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,890

+done in a variety of ways, we will discuss some of them.

+

+26

+00:01:15,890 --> 00:01:19,280

+The second is requirement analysis which involved the study and

+

+27

+00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,200

+deeper understanding of the collective requirements. The third step is this

+

+28

+00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,760

+specification of requirements, in which the collective requirements are suitably

+

+29

+00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,730

+represented, organized and save so that they can be shared. Also

+

+30

+00:01:30,730 --> 00:01:32,530

+in his case, there are many ways to do this,

+

+31

+00:01:32,530 --> 00:01:34,350

+and we will see some of this ways when we talk

+

+32

+00:01:34,350 --> 00:01:37,550

+about the requirements engineering in the dedicated lesson. Once the

+

+33

+00:01:37,550 --> 00:01:40,970

+requirements have been specified, they can be validated to make sure

+

+34

+00:01:40,970 --> 00:01:44,420

+that they're complete, consistent, no redundant and so on. So

+

+35

+00:01:44,420 --> 00:01:48,460

+that they've satisfied a set of importance properties, for requirements.

+

+36

+00:01:48,460 --> 00:01:52,410

+Finally, the fifth step is requirements management which accounts for

+

+37

+00:01:52,410 --> 00:01:56,100

+changes to requirements during the lifetime of the project. And here

+

+38

+00:01:56,100 --> 00:01:58,330

+I talked about steps, kind of giving the impression that

+

+39

+00:01:58,330 --> 00:02:01,310

+we're just going from the first step to the fifth one

+

+40

+00:02:01,310 --> 00:02:03,300

+and that this is sort of a linear process. In

+

+41

+00:02:03,300 --> 00:02:05,990

+reality, as we will see, this is more of an iterative

+

+42

+00:02:05,990 --> 00:02:09,690

+process in which will go and cover the different phases in an

+

+43

+00:02:09,690 --> 00:02:12,560

+iterative fashion. We will discuss extensively

+

+44

+00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,453

+requirements engineering in our second mini-course.
