About This Topic

Software requirements engineering is a crucial element in software engineering. Requirements analysis includes three types of activity: eliciting requirements, analyzing requirements and recording requirements. Eliciting requirements is the task of communicating with customers, users and stakeholders to determine which functions and features of an application. In analyzing the requirements, customers, users, and stakeholders help clarify and prioritize those features and functions. Documenting requirements can be done in different ways or with different tools. Traditional methodologies use a requirements specification. Agile methodologies document requirements with use cases or user stories.
