Abstract

Requirements play a pivotal role in software development because they express the needs of the customer. A quality software system can emerge only when the real needs of the client are discovered. However, this is not enough. A typical software development project faces the problem of translating the user needs into a working system. These problems are dealt with by hundreds of books on various aspects of software design and pertaining to the plethora of software development technologies we can choose from. Related activities produce important artefacts that are treated as primary in software development: design models and code. Software design and coding directly contributes to the final system, and thus their results are treated as first-class citizens in the world of software development.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The examples in this chapter use very simplified Java with an imaginary programming framework. Here we want to abstract away from any specific Java technology.

  2. 2.

    The assumption of possible initial actor interaction is explained in Chaps. 2 and 4. This pertains to use cases invoked from within other use cases (see Fig. 2.27 and rules P9 and P10).

  3. 3.

    The idea of requirements modelling started with the Requirements Modelling Language proposed by Greenspan et al. [63, 64]. More recently, Helming et al. proposed the Unified Requirements Modelling Language [16, 68]. Yet another approach was proposed by Beatty and Chen [13].
