| Course Content |
This course is crucial for grasping a key phase in the software development lifecycle, focusing on imparting skills and knowledge essential for effectively handling software requirements. It covers foundational concepts, various types of requirements (functional, non-functional, domain-specific), and their impact on software development and quality. Students learn practical techniques for eliciting requirements through interviews, surveys, and observations, coupled with strategies for analyzing and resolving conflicting or ambiguous information.
Further, the course provides detailed guidance on documenting requirements, emphasizing clarity and completeness, and explores methods to ensure that these requirements are both feasible and meet stakeholder needs through validation and quality assurance practices. It also delves into the management of requirements, covering version control and change management processes, crucial for adapting to project shifts.
In addition to theoretical knowledge, the course emphasizes practical application, showcasing the latest tools and technologies in requirements engineering. It discusses industry best practices, frameworks, and standards, such as IEEE standards, and contrasts requirements engineering approaches in agile versus traditional waterfall project management frameworks. Through case studies, group projects, and discussions, students gain hands-on experience, preparing them for real-world challenges in software development and project management.
