Effective requirements development: An end-to-end process that works.

• How to build requirements that can easily be transformed into high-quality software

• Easy-to-apply, start-to-finish methodology based on the Unified Process

• Practical solutions for requirements gathering, analysis, specification, and maintenance

This book presents a systematic, easy-to-apply methodology for creating effective requirements. The authors present practical solutions for the full requirements lifecycle: gathering, analysis, specification, verification, and maintenance. Working in the context of the Unified Process, they cover process flows, present detailed diagrams, and offer insights that draw on their extraordinary mission-critical project experience, which ranges from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange to the U.S. Air Force's most advanced Command and Control Systems.

• The key characteristics of good software requirements

• Understanding the requirements analysis process and artifacts

• Building user requirements problem domains, actors, use cases, activity diagrams, and storyboarding

• Building the requirements architecture entities and events, class diagrams, state transition diagrams, and sequence diagrams
