Requirements Engineering
June 13 - 14, 2008 @ Bangalore, INDIA
Incorrect requirements account for up to 60% of errors in software systems, yet formal methods to capture requirements are not adopted. The course describes the representation of requirements using different techniques and also discusses how different system aspects can be illustrated with process models (using data flow diagrams), data models( entity relationship diagram), state transition diagrams etc., It also introduces CASE tools and reinforces learning using different exercises and case studies.
The relevance of requirement specification is emphasized. Common problems encountered in requirements specification are discussed. The objective of the workshop is to help the developers choose the right technique to capture requirements based on project characteristics. It also helps developers understand requirements presented using different requirement techniques.
