What is Requirements Engineering?

Requirements engineering or Requirements Analysis is the process followed in determining the user expectations about a new product or an existing product that is altered.

In software development, requirements are measurable, detailed and relevant functional specifications.

They guide the software developer in the right path to visualize, develop and streamline software that works according to the user expectations.

Through Requirements Engineering, the software developer will be able to understand the various dimensions through which a user will be looking at the product.

What is the purpose they are using it for, the benefit they are trying to achieve, their expectations about usability, affordability, accessibility, etc. are considered in Requirements Engineering.

The software requirements will also be segregated as functional. Non-functional, object-oriented or goal oriented for the purpose of software development.

There are several methods of Requirements Engineering like Waterfall method and Rational Unified Process.

All methods of Requirements Engineering have the same objective of collecting, analyzing and documenting user requirements about a software.

About Requirements Engineering Course

Requirements Engineering plays a key role in software development. It is the foundation upon which the entire software and its modules are developed. Gathering user requirements accurately is one of the primary responsibilities of a software developer.

The Requirements Engineering Training will give students an in depth understanding of various aspects of requirements engineering involving functional requirements, non-functional requirements, stakeholder management, scenario analysis, and so on.

During the Requirements Engineering Course, students will also be trained how to collect the right kind of requirements from suitable stakeholders so that the software development process runs smoothly without any hassles.

Other aspects of requirements engineering like analyzing the requirements, documenting them and implementing them will also be taught as part of the course.

This course is an ideal choice for those students who are preparing for the CRPE course or want to train themselves to be experts at Business Analysis.
