  12. ENG.2 Develop Software RequirementsChecklist The purpose of the Development software requirements process is to establish the requirements of the software components of the system. As a result of successful implementation of the process: • the requirements allocated to software components of the system and their interfaces will be defined to match the customer’s stated and implied needs; • analyzed, correct and testable software requirements will be developed • the impact of software requirements on the operating environment will be understood Assessment Case Study - slide#12

  13. ENG.2 Checklist (continued) • a relevant software release strategy will be developed that defines the priority for implementing software requirements; • the software requirements will be approved and updated as needed; • the software requirements will be communicated to all affected parties 1. What is your strategy for determining and analyzing requirements of the software components of the system? 2. How do you document these requirements? 3. How do you determine the interfaces between the software requirements and other components of the operating environment? Assessment Case Study - slide#13

  14. ENG.2 Checklist (continued) 4. What is your method of communicating the software requirements to the customer? How are revisions to requirements handled? 5. How do you prioritize software requirements and map them to future releases? 6. How do you use preliminary or prototypical versions of the system to affect the next iteration of requirements? 7. How and to whom do you disseminate software requirements and software requirement updates? Assessment Case Study - slide#14
