-And identifying the purpose of a softer system means

-

-00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,980

-defining the requirements for the system. And if you have

-ever done anything like that, for example, we did

-it for the first project in the previous mini course,

-

-5

-00:00:12,060 --> 00:00:14,720

-you will know that it is an extremely hard

-

-6

-00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,760

-task. Identifying the purpose of the software and defining its

-

-7

-00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,600

-requirements is very, very hard. Why is it so hard?

-

-8

-00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,560

-First of all, the purpose of most systems is inherently,

-

-9

-00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,920

-extremely complex, so this has to do with the

-

-10

-00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,330

-sheer complexity of the purpose of the requirements. Just think

-

-11

-00:00:31,330 --> 00:00:34,810

-of how complex is the functionality provided by most systems.

-

-12

-00:00:34,810 --> 00:00:38,790

-Second, it is hard, very hard to extract from humans

-

-13

-00:00:38,790 --> 00:00:41,780

-this purpose and make it explicit. So, paraphrasing a

-

-14

-00:00:41,780 --> 00:00:45,130

-famous quote from the late Steve Jobs, often people don't

-

-15

-00:00:45,130 --> 00:00:47,475

-know what they want until you show it to them.

-

-16

-00:00:47,475 --> 00:00:50,490

-It's hard to figure out what people really want. Third,

-

-17

-00:00:50,490 --> 00:00:54,260

-requirements often change over time. Customers change their

-

-18

-00:00:54,260 --> 00:00:57,490

-mind. Designing and building a system raises new requirements.

-

-19

-00:00:57,490 --> 00:01:00,270

-So for many reasons requirements tend not to

-

-20

-00:01:00,270 --> 00:01:02,760

-be stable, tend to evolve. And that, of course,

-

-21

-00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,440

-makes it harder to collect them. Finally, for

-

-22

-00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,600

-any realistic system, there are many stakeholders and they

-

-23

-00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,990

-often have conflicting goals and requirements. And it

-

-24

-00:01:12,990 --> 00:01:15,900

-can be very hard to reconcile the possibly conflicting

-

-25

-00:01:15,900 --> 00:01:19,630

-requirements that might emerge in these cases. So for all these reasons,

-

-26

-00:01:19,630 --> 00:01:21,230

-it is very, very difficult to

-

-27

-00:01:21,230 --> 00:01:23,930

-perform requirements engineering in an effective way.
