Requirements Engineering : From System Goals to UML Models to Software Specifications, Paperback by Van Lamsweerde, Axel, ISBN 0470012706, ISBN-13 9780470012703, Brand New, Free shipping in the US<p>Th presents both the current state of the art in requirements engineering and a systematic method for engineering high-quality requirements, broken down into four parts. &nbsp;The <i>first part</i> introduces fundamental concepts and principles including the aim and scope of requirements engineering, the products and processes involved, requirements qualities to aim at and flaws to avoid, and the critical role of requirements engineering in system and software engineering.</p> <p>The <i>second part</i> of th is devoted to system modeling in the specific context of engineering requirements. It presents a multi-view modeling framework that integrates complementary techniques for modeling the system-as-is and the system-to-be. The <i>third part</i> of th reviews goal-based reasoning techniques to support the various steps of the KAOS method. The <i>fourth part</i> of th goes beyond requirements engineering to discuss the mapping from goal-oriented requirements to software specifications and to software architecture.</p> <p>Online software will accompany th and will add value to both classroom and self-study by enabling students to build models and specifications involved in th&rsquo;s exercises and case studies, helping them to discover the latest RE technology solutions. Instructor resources such as slides, figures and handouts are&nbsp;available from an accompanying website.</p>
