Detecting, Classifying And Tracing Non-Functional Software Requirements, By Anas Mahmoud

Critical path analysis identifies the most efficient and cost effective way of completing a complex project. The various activities which together will make up the project are identified, and the order of these activities are identified. Then, the duration of each activity is estimated and these factors are then arranged as a network or graph, showing the whole project from start to finish, and showing which tasks can happen at the same time. The sequence of tasks which have to be done one after another with no gaps in between is called the Critical Path.

14. (B) Which of the following is usually not a problem associated with specifying detailed requirements at the beginning of the development process? a. Capturing all the exceptions b. System programmers have no experience with this type of process c. System complexity d. Business environment often changing

Another way of successfully gathering information is by building a prototype or model of the system, so that users can test or get an idea of what the finished product will be like. With this they can determine issues, problems, or inconsistency with the system. Another important part of gathering information is organizing it so that it can be understood and put to proper use. I propose categorizing the requirements into functional requirements, operational requirements, technical requirements, and transitional requirements. The functional requirements define how the user thinks the system is functioning overall, the operational requirements define what background processes need to be executed in order for the system to work optimally over a period of time, the technical requirements define what technical issues that must be addressed in order to successfully implement the system, and the transitional requirements define the processes or steps needed to implement the system smoothly and successfully. ("Mind Tools", 2012).

The information system’s requirements in the systems planning phase are based on a case summary, potential interview questions, and the systems analyst’s experience in systems planning. One must not only generate requirements based specifically on what users’ state they want or need. Analysts must also generate requirements based on insight into the overall organization and project goals.

The non-functional requirements are the attributes of the system; these include: reliability, performance, cost, system quality attributes, and the challenges encountered during installation.

Non-functional requirements describe how the system operates and can also be limitations on the design of the system.

Being a top student in the classroom has always been a self-requirement of mine. Even though it was going to be more work, I was not going to allow having cancer to stop me from doing so. When I was diagnosed, I was in fifth grade. I only attended thirty-five days of fifth grade, yet still moved on to middle school with the rest of my graduating class. Passing fifth grade required a lot of my own commitment. Without any teacher giving me due dates, I finished almost all of the work I received. Considering a lot of the work at that level is in-class projects, the teachers altered the lesson so that I was able to learn the material at home. I also forced myself to go to school, no matter how I felt, on particular days. For example, our

Company develops the process of priorities to stay gather the information of which project would impact the company and would achieve their goals in the future and maximize business. With that being said prioritizing projects is the key to be successful in the business, to develop that strategy a company should allocate it resources in various explicit projects and their implementation.

Andrew Kannenberg and Dr. Hossein Saiedian have explore some problems with manual traceability [14]. Traceability information can be captured manually through utilizing techniques such as traceability matrices. A traceability matrix can be defined as “a table that illustrates logical links between individual functional requirements and other system artifacts” [15]. Unfortunately, manual traceability methods are not suitable for the needs of the software engineering industry. In [17], the authors found that the number of traceability links that need to be captured grows exponentially with the size and complexity of the software system. This means that manual traceability data for large software projects requires an extreme amount of time and effort. If any change occur to any elements then the affected portions of the traceability data must be updated manually, which requires discipline and a significant amount of time and effort spent on link-checking throughout the traceability data. Because of this, it is easy for manually created traceability data to become out-of-sync with the current set of requirements, design, code, and test cases. Manual traceability methods are also prone to errors that are not easy to catch. Errors can arise from simple typographic mistakes, from inadvertently overlooking a portion of the traceability data (such as an individual requirement), or from carelessness by the individual capturing the data. Because traceability artifacts for large

The advancement of technology and the growth of user expectations lead to the changing environment in the software system development. In the consequence of changing environment, the developer usually faces the evolving requirements during the software deployment phase. The evolving requirements usually rise in the response to the changing of stakeholder needs or the missing part in the initial analysis. These changes result in the need of reconfiguring, troubleshooting, and even deleting the requirements. Most often, they

Requirements Engineering (RE) is the process of formulating, documenting, managing software requirements. RE process is composed of various sub phases: requirements

* Trade-off analysis – Development of IT solutions inherently requires trade-off among approaches, processes, components, etc. Principles and methods for conducting this analysis are needed for successful IT practice.

The requirements gathering and analysis phase is the most critical phase for the overall success of the project because this phase helps “identify and capture stakeholder requirements using customer interviews and surveys” (Smith, 2016). In order to successfully capture software requirements from the stakeholder, developers need to conduct conference meetings to understand the capabilities of the software. This conference meeting usually takes place only once, so it is essential that developers collect all the information required for the software during the elicitation requirement meeting. For developers to be successful in collecting all the required information, it is a
