Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 4 Requirements engineering The process of establishing the services that the customer requires from a system and the constraints under which it operates and is developed. The requirements themselves are the descriptions of the system services and constraints that are generated during the requirements engineering process.
5.

Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 5 Requirements abstraction (Davis) “If acompany wishes to let a contract for a large software development project, it must define its needs in a sufficiently abstract way that a solution is not pre-defined. The requirements must be written so that several contractors can bid for the contract, offering, perhaps, different ways of meeting the client organisation’s needs. Once a contract has been awarded, the contractor must write a system definition for the client in more detail so that the client understands and can validate what the software will do. Both of these documents may be called the requirements document for the system.”

Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 6 Types of requirement LEVELS OF DESCRIPTION: ‘user requirements’ mean the high-level abstract requirements and ‘system requirements’ mean the detailed description of what the system should do. User requirements • Statements in natural language plus diagrams of the services the system provides and its operational constraints. Written for customers. System requirements • A structured document setting out detailed descriptions of the system’s functions, services and operational constraints. Defines what should be implemented so may be part of a contract between client and contractor.

Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 8 Functional and non-functional requirements Functional requirements • Statements of services the system should provide, how the system should react to particular inputs and how the system should behave in particular situations. Non-functional requirements • constraints on the services or functions offered by the system such as (performance, capacity, security, robustness, and reliability requirements). Domain requirements • Requirements that come from the application domain of the system and that reflect characteristics of that domain.
9.
©Ian Sommerville 2004
Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 9 Functional requirements Describe functionality or system services. Depend on the type of software, expected users and the type of system where the software is used. Functional user requirements may be high-level statements of what the system should do but functional system requirements should describe the system services in detail.

Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 10 The LIBSYS system A library system that provides a single interface to a number of databases of articles in different libraries. Users can search for, download and print these articles for personal study.
11.
©Ian Sommerville 2004
Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 11 Examples of functional requirements The user shall be able to search either all of the initial set of databases or select a subset from it. The system shall provide appropriate viewers for the user to read documents in the document store. Every order shall be allocated a unique identifier (ORDER_ID) which the user shall be able to copy to the account’s permanent storage area.
12.
©Ian Sommerville 2004
Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 12 Requirements imprecision Problems arise when requirements are not precisely stated. Ambiguous requirements may be interpreted in different ways by developers and users. Consider the term ‘appropriate viewers’ • User intention - special purpose viewer for each different document type; • Developer interpretation - Provide a text viewer that shows the contents of the document.
13.
©Ian Sommerville 2004
Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 13 Requirements completeness and consistency In principle, requirements should be both complete and consistent. Complete: • They should include descriptions of all facilities required. Consistent: • There should be no conflicts or contradictions in the descriptions of the system facilities. In practice, it is impossible to produce a complete and consistent requirements document.
14.
©Ian Sommerville 2004
Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 14 In reality, the distinction between different types of requirement is not as clear-cut as these simple definitions suggest. A user requirement concerned with security, such as a statement limiting access to authorized users, may appear to be a nonfunctional requirement. However, when developed in more detail, this requirement may generate other requirements that are clearly functional, such as the need to include user authentication facilities in the system. This shows that requirements are not independent and that one requirement often generates or constrains other requirements.
15.
©Ian Sommerville 2004
Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 15 Non-functional requirements These define system properties and constraints e.g. reliability, response time and storage requirements. Constraints are I/O device capability, system representations, etc. Process requirements may also be specified mandating a particular CASE system, programming language or development method. Non-functional requirements may be more critical than functional requirements. If these are not met, the system is useless.
16.
©Ian Sommerville 2004
Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 16 Non-functional classifications Product requirements • Requirements which specify that the delivered product must behave in a particular way e.g. execution speed, reliability, etc. Organisational requirements • Requirements which are a consequence of organisational policies and procedures e.g. process standards used, implementation requirements, etc. External requirements • Requirements which arise from factors which are external to the system and its development process e.g. interoperability requirements, legislative requirements, etc.

Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 18 Non-functional requirements examples Product requirement 8.1 The user interface for LIBSYS shall be implemented as simple HTML without frames or Java applets. Organisational requirement 9.3.2 The system development process and deliverable documents shall conform to the process and deliverables defined in XYZCo-SP- STAN-95. External requirement 7.6.5 The system shall not disclose any personal information about customers apart from their name and reference number to the operators of the system.
19.
©Ian Sommerville 2004
Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 19 Goals and requirements Non-functional requirements may be very difficult to state precisely and imprecise requirements may be difficult to verify. Goal • A general intention of the user such as ease of use. Verifiable non-functional requirement • A statement using some measure that can be objectively tested. Goals are helpful to developers as they convey the intentions of the system users.
20.
©Ian Sommerville 2004
Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 20 Examples A system goal • The system should be easy to use by experienced controllers and should be organised in such a way that user errors are minimised. A verifiable non-functional requirement • Experienced controllers shall be able to use all the system functions after a total of two hours training. After this training, the average number of errors made by experienced users shall not exceed two per day.

Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 22 Requirements interaction Conflicts between different non-functional requirements are common in complex systems. Spacecraft system • To minimise weight, the number of separate chips in the system should be minimised. • To minimise power consumption, lower power chips should be used. • However, using low power chips may mean that more chips have to be used. Which is the most critical requirement?
23.
©Ian Sommerville 2004
Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 23 Domain requirements Derived from the application domain and describe system characteristics and features that reflect the domain. Domain requirements be new functional requirements, constraints on existing requirements or define specific computations. If domain requirements are not satisfied, the system may be unworkable.
24.
©Ian Sommerville 2004
Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 24 Library system domain requirements There shall be a standard user interface to all databases which shall be based on the Z39.50 standard. Because of copyright restrictions, some documents must be deleted immediately on arrival. Depending on the user’s requirements, these documents will either be printed locally on the system server for manually forwarding to the user or routed to a network printer.
25.
©Ian Sommerville 2004
Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 25 Train protection system The deceleration of the train shall be computed as: • Dtrain = Dcontrol + Dgradient where Dgradient is 9.81ms2 * compensated gradient/alpha and where the values of 9.81ms2 /alpha are known for different types of train.
26.
©Ian Sommerville 2004
Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 26 Domain requirements problems Understandability • Requirements are expressed in the language of the application domain; • This is often not understood by software engineers developing the system. Implicitness • Domain specialists understand the area so well that they do not think of making the domain requirements explicit.
27.
©Ian Sommerville 2004
Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 27 User requirements Should describe functional and non-functional requirements in such a way that they are understandable by system users who don’t have detailed technical knowledge. User requirements are defined using natural language, tables and diagrams as these can be understood by all users.
28.
©Ian Sommerville 2004
Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 28 Problems with natural language Lack of clarity • Precision is difficult without making the document difficult to read. Requirements confusion • Functional and non-functional requirements tend to be mixed-up. Requirements amalgamation • Several different requirements may be expressed together.
29.
©Ian Sommerville 2004
Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 29 LIBSYS requirement 4..5 LIBSYS shall provide a financial accounting system that maintains records of all payments made by users of the system. System managers may configure this system so that regular users may receive discounted rates.
30.
©Ian Sommerville 2004
Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 30 Editor grid requirement 2.6 Grid facilities To assist in the positioning of entities on a diagram, the user may turn on a grid in either centimetres or inches, via an option on the control panel. Initially, the grid is off. The grid may be turned on and off at any time during an editing session and can be toggled between inches and centimetres at any time. A grid option will be provided on the reduce-to-fit view but the number of grid lines shown will be reduced to avoid filling the smaller diagram with grid lines.
31.
©Ian Sommerville 2004
Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 31 Requirement problems Database requirements includes both conceptual and detailed information • Describes the concept of a financial accounting system that is to be included in LIBSYS; • However, it also includes the detail that managers can configure this system - this is unnecessary at this level. Grid requirement mixes three different kinds of requirement • Conceptual functional requirement (the need for a grid); • Non-functional requirement (grid units); • Non-functional UI requirement (grid switching).
32.
©Ian Sommerville 2004
Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 32 Structured presentation 2.6.1 Grid facilities The editor shall provide a grid facility where a matrix of horizontal and vertical lines provide a backgroundto the editor window. This grid shall be a passive grid where the alignment of entities is the user's responsibility. Rationale: A grid helps the user to create a tidy diagram with well-spaced entities. Although an active grid, where entities 'snap-to' grid lines can be u seful, the positioning is imprecise. The user is the best person to decide where entities should be positioned. Specification: ECLIPSE/WS/Tools/DE/FS Section 5.6 Source: Ray Wilson, Glasgow Office

Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 33 Guidelines for writing requirements To minimize misunderstandings when writing natural language requirements Invent a standard format and use it for all requirements. Use language in a consistent way. Use shall for mandatory requirements, should for desirable requirements. Use text highlighting to identify key parts of the requirement. Avoid the use of computer jargon. Whenever possible, you should try to associate a rationale with each user requirement
34.

Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 34 System requirements More detailed specifications of system functions, services and constraints than user requirements. They are intended to be a basis for designing the system. They may be incorporated into the system contract. System requirements may be defined or illustrated using system models.

Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 35 Requirements and design In principle, requirements should state what the system should do and the design should describe how it does this. In practice, requirements and design are inseparable • A system architecture may be designed to structure the requirements; • The system may inter-operate with other systems that generate design requirements; • The use of a specific design may be a domain requirement.

Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 36 Problems with NL specification Ambiguity • The readers and writers of the requirement must interpret the same words in the same way. NL is naturally ambiguous so this is very difficult. Over-flexibility • The same thing may be said in a number of different ways in the specification. Lack of modularisation • NL structures are inadequate to structure system requirements.

Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 37 Alternatives to NL specification Notation Description Structured natural language This approach depends on defining standard forms or templates to express the requirements specification. Design description languages This approach uses a language like a programming language but with more abstract features to specify the requirements by defining an operational model of the system. This approach is not now widely used although it can be useful for interface specifications. Graphical notations A graphical language, supplemented by text annotations is used to define the functional requirements for the system. An early example of sucha graphical language was SADT. Now, use-case descriptions and sequence diagrams are commonly used . Mathematical specifications These are notations based on mathematical concepts suchas finite-state machines or sets. These unambiguous specifications reduce the arguments between customer and contractor about system functionality. However, most customers don’t understand formal specifications and are reluctant to accept it as a system contract.

Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 38 Structured language specifications The freedom of the requirements writer is limited by a predefined template for requirements. All requirements are written in a standard way. The terminology used in the description may be limited. The advantage is that the most of the expressiveness of natural language is maintained but a degree of uniformity is imposed on the specification.

Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 39 Form-based specifications Definition of the function or entity. Description of inputs and where they come from. Description of outputs and where they go to. Indication of other entities required. Pre and post conditions (if appropriate). The side effects (if any) of the function.

Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 40 Form-based node specification Insulin Pump/Control Software/SRS/3.3.2 Function Compute insulin dose: Safe sugar level Description Computes the dose of insulin to be delivered when the current measured sugar level is in the safe zone between 3 and 7 units. Inputs Current sugar reading (r2), the previous two readings (r0 and r1) Source Current sugar reading from sensor. Other readings from memory. OutputsCompDose Ğthe dose in insulin to be delivered Destination Main control loop Action: CompDose is zero if the sugar level is stable or falling or if the level is increasing but the rate of increase is decreasing. If the level is increasing and the rate of increase is increasing, then CompDose is computed by dividing the difference between the current sugar level and the previous level by 4 and rounding the result. If the result, is rounded to zero then CompDose is set to the minimum dose that can be delivered. Requires Two previous readings so that the rateof change of sugar level can be computed. Pre-condition The insulin reservoir contains at least the maximum allowed single dose of insulin.. Post-condition r0 is replaced by r1 then r1 is replacedby r2 Side-effects None

Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 42 Tabular specification Condition Action Sugar level falling (r2 < r1) CompDose = 0 Sugar level stable (r2 = r1) CompDose = 0 Sugar level increasing and rate of increase decreasing ((r2-r1)<(r1-r0)) CompDose = 0 Sugar level increasing and rate of increase stable or increasing. ((r2-r1) • (r1-r0)) CompDose = round ((r2-r1)/4) If rounded result = 0 then CompDose = MinimumDose

Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 46 Interface specification Most systems must operate with other systems and the operating interfaces must be specified as part of the requirements. Three types of interface may have to be defined • Procedural interfaces; • Data structures that are exchanged; • Data representations. Formal notations are an effective technique for interface specification.

Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 48 The software requirements document The requirements document is the official statement of what is required of the system developers. sometimes called the software requirements specification or SRS Should include both a definition of user requirements and a specification of the system requirements. It is NOT a design document. As far as possible, it should set of WHAT the system should do rather than HOW it should do it

Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 6 Slide 52 Key points Requirements set out what the system should do and define constraints on its operation and implementation. Functional requirements set out services the system should provide. Non-functional requirements constrain the system being developed or the development process. User requirements are high-level statements of what the system should do. User requirements should be written using natural language, tables and diagrams.
