  9. 2020-02-09 9 @janetgregoryca @lisacrispin Examples of questions to ask for this feature (“functional” requirements) 17 Dimension Questions User Is the scheduler an administrator of the system? Or is she a data entry person only? Data Is time measured in hours or minutes? Action Can the drivers add their hours in manually, or do they submit time sheets? How does she find out about extra hours? Control Does the timesheets have to be approved by a supervisor or somebody? @janetgregoryca @lisacrispin Examples of questions to ask for this feature (“non-functional” requirements) 18 Dimension Questions Interface Who / what else has access to the scheduling system? Environment Can it be entered remotely or is it desktop only? Quality Attributes Are there performance requirements? Can I assume there is only one person accessing at a time? What level of security do we need for the scheduler? 17 18
  10. 2020-02-09 10 @janetgregoryca @lisacrispin Your turn - using your tester’s mindset – Part 1 The feature: The scheduler has to notify the staff at a destination if a bus is going to be late so they can plan accordingly 1. Each person take one dimension 2. Individually, write down at least two questions about that dimension on sticky notes. 3 minutes) 19 @janetgregoryca @lisacrispin Your turn - using your tester’s mindset – Part 2 1. Share your questions with your group and discuss. 2. Now take your questions and stick them under the appropriate dimension on your wall chart. Consider the similarities, the discrepancies. 20 19 20
  11. 2020-02-09 11 @janetgregoryca @lisacrispin Debrief • How were questions different for each dimension? • Can you see them sparking useful conversations for your team at work? 21 User Interface Action Data Control persona user role map context diagram prototype relationship map business process diagram capability map dependency graph story, story map use case value stream map data model state diagram business policy, rule decision table decision tree Source: DiscoverTo Deliver, Gottesdiener & Gorman, 2012 18 More techniques to elicit requirements 21 22

  13. 2020-02-09 13 @janetgregoryca @lisacrispin Persona example: a typical end-user 25 Name: Sam the Scheduler Schedules buses Schedules bus drivers Matches bus drivers to buses Arranges emergency buses and drivers Ensures hours get logged Liaises with the bus maintenance Detailed oriented Likes working with numbers Likes trying new ideas Likes the outdoors, camping Introvert Doesn’t like conflict Description Values Likes @janetgregoryca @lisacrispin State diagram (life cycle of data) 26 25 26
  14. 2020-02-09 14 @janetgregoryca @lisacrispin Pair up and try one out The feature: The scheduler needs to notify the staff at a destination if a bus is going to be late so they can plan accordingly. 1. Draw a context diagram, create a persona, or draw a state diagram 2. Write down any new questions you think of as you try the technique 27 Debrief • Did the technique you used help you think more laterally, that is, “out of the box”? • Did you think of good new questions? Share your diagrams with other tables. Context diagrams at one table, state flow at another, and personas at the third. How do they compare? How do they differ? 28 27 28
