About Requirement Analysis

Requirement Analysis also referred to as Requirement Engineering in UML (Unified Modeling Language) is the process of understanding the end user requirements about a new product or one that needs to be reworked on. It contains processes, techniques and tactics to understand how the product should look like, how the change needs to implemented, what are the tools that need to be used and so on. In software development it is referred to as functional specifications.

Since software development is a time consuming and rigorous process, the requirements are to be identified and documented before the development process begins so that the new or altered product meets the expectations of the users. During Requirement Analysis, various scenarios like conflicting interests of stakeholders, resources availability and so on are identified and validated to ensure smooth process of software development.

Requirement Analysis using UML®

UML is a recognized standard for visualizing, designing, structuring software code. It ensures that there is a common standard how developers visualize and design a system or a software. It UML is recognized as a standard for software development by the International Standard Organization (ISO). UML is featured by use case diagrams, activities, test cases and severa other components.

The use case diagrams in UML helps software developers understand better what the end user is trying to achieve with the program. This in turn helps them engineer flawless software code that delivers what is expected of it.

Requirement Analysis using UML is a process used to identify user requirements before the software development is initiated. Requirement Analysis, or modelling is done using Activity modeling, use cases modeling, object-oriented modeling and so on. The Requirement Analysis using UML Course trains students to prepare use use case diagrams, activity modeling and other related tasks for identifying user requirements.
