About this course

A three-day overview of the two related disciplines of requirements analysis (capture and validation) and requirements specification. It covers measuring the quality of requirements you receive, why elicitation alone is inadequate, a methodology for finding missing requirements and validating the rest, writing individual requirements with a parsing template, and structuring requirements into specifications. Formerly titled Requirements Analysis & Specification Writing Fundamentals.
