Quick Enrol

You Will Learn How To

  • Develop requirements for software-intensive systems using proven methodologies
  • Build a use case-based requirements model
  • Write user stories and brief, casual, fully developed use cases
  • Enhance and refine use cases using an iterative approach
  • Model user interface using mock-ups and develop a data model
  • Validate requirements, manage the changes and keep traceability

Course Benefits

Requirements gathering is the cornerstone of any software development project. In this course, you gain the knowledge and skills needed to capture software requirements using clearly defined processes. You learn to specify user and system requirements, match the process to the size of your project, and apply quality and consistency tests to the requirements model.

Who Should Attend

Those developing, leading, designing, testing or managing a requirements initiative for a software system. UML experience is not required. Those responsible for identifying user requirements in a nonsoftware development environment should take Course 315, "Developing User Requirements".

Workshop Course

Extensive PC-based activities throughout the course immerse you in a realistic user requirements environment, providing practical experience in constructing a software requirements model. Activities include:
  • Capturing stakeholder input from video scenarios that put you at the meeting table
  • Modelling requirements with UML diagrams using a leading CASE tool
  • Capturing, structuring and refining use cases in a realistic simulated environment
  • Developing screen mock-ups with an interface simulation
  • Producing a UML requirements data model
  • Validating requirements using IEEE standard checklists
  • Performing inspections on real-world use case documents
