Definition
Requirement: A condition or capability needed by a
user to solve a problem or achieve an objective that
must be met or possessed by a system or system
component to satisfy a contract, standard, specification,
or other formally imposed document.
Requirement is a singular documented physical and functional need that a
particular design, product or process must be able to perform.
Requirements errors are the most common type of
systems development errors and the most costly to fix

Why requirements matter
Requirements errors are the most common type of software development
errors and the most costly to fix
• 85% of projects identify poor requirements specification the #1 source of
software problems
• 60%-80% of project failures attributed directly to bad requirements. This
represents a $60 billion annual problem involving cancelled or failed
projects (only USA)
• 50% of product defects originate in the requirements

criterion?

Types of documents through
which requirements can be
communicated

18.

SoftServe Confidential
Software Requirements Specification
SRS – it’s a description of a software system to be
developed, laying out functional and non-functional
requirements
Contents of SRS (Section 5 of IEEE 830)
• Introduction
• General description of the software product
• Specific requirements (detailed)
• Additional information such as appendixes and
index, if necessary

19.

SoftServe Confidential
User Stories
User Stories - are short, simple descriptions of a feature
told from the perspective of the person who desires the new
capability, usually a user or customer of the system. They
typically follow a simple template:
As a <type of user>, I want <some goal> so that <some reason>

20.

SoftServe Confidential
Use Cases
Use case is a list of steps, typically defining interactions
between a role (known in UML as an "actor") and a system, to
achieve a goal.
The actor can be a human or an external system.
Might be represented in two major forms:
Diagram
Structural textual description

21.

SoftServe Confidential
Use Case Diagram
A Use Case Diagram for the
interaction of a client (the
actor) and a restaurant
(the system)

22.

SoftServe Confidential
Use Case as Structural Text
Use Case’s structure
Title: "goal the use case is trying to satisfy"
Main Success Scenario: numbered list of steps
• Step: "a simple statement of the interaction between the actor
and a system
Extensions: separately numbered lists, one per Extension
• Extension: "a condition that results in different interactions from
.. the main success scenario". An extension from main step 3 is
numbered 3a, etc.
Use Case’s structure might be tailored to projects need

23.

Requirements Analysis

24.

SoftServe Confidential
QC and Requirements Analysis
The goal of testing is to ensure that software works according to mutually agreed
requirements
To do that QC engineer need to perform the following:
1. Test Requirements to be sure that they are qualitative. If no, contribute to
requirements clarification process
2. Design tests cases to fully cover requirement with tests
3. Execute tests
4. Report defects (if any)

25.

SoftServe Confidential
Requirements Analysis
The requirements analysis is a systematic project activity targeted at:
• determining whether the stated requirements possess qualities of a good
requirement
• resolving any apparent conflicts
Requirements analysis includes:
thorough reviews of requirements
documenting findings of review
meetings with stakeholders to resolve conflicts in requirements
update requirements

26.

SoftServe Confidential
Goodness Checklist: Is this
Free of ambiguous terms?
Examples: as appropriate, etc., and/or, support, but not limited to, be able to, be capable of
Understandable only in one way?
Free of indefinite pronouns?
Examples: this, these
Free of unverifiable terms?
Examples: flexible, user-friendly, robust, light-weight, maximize, adequate, small, portable, easily - other “ly”
words and other “ize” words
Quantifiable?
Ask “Do we have an exact criterion to objectively measure the system operation?”
Necessary?
Ask “Why do we need the requirement?”; the answer may lead you to the real requirement.
Free of implementation?
Requirement should state WHAT is needed, NOT HOW to provide it, i.e., state the problem not the solution.

27.

Traceability Matrix

28.

SoftServe Confidential
What is a Traceability Matrix?
• A traceability matrix is a document that corelates any two-baseline documents that
require a many-to-many relationship to check
the completeness of the relationship.
• Very often it is used to track the requirements
and to check the current project requirements
are met.

29.

SoftServe Confidential
How to create a Traceability Matrix?
1. Open Excel to create Traceability Matrix.
2. Define following columns:
1. Use case ID / requirement ID.
2. Use case / requirement description.
3. One column for each test case.
3. Identify all the testable requirements in granular level from requirement document.
Typical requirements you need to capture are as follows:
1. Used cases (all the flows are captured)
2. Error Messages
3. Business rules
4. Functional rules
5. Software requirement specifications
6. Functional requirement specifications
4. Identity all the test scenarios and test flows.
5. Map Requirement IDs to the test cases. Assume (as per below table), Test case “TC 001” is one flow
or scenario. SR-1.1 and SR-1.2 are covered.
6. Now from above table you can easily identify which test cases cover which requirements and
which test cases need to be updated if there are any change requests.

What is a Requirement Traceability Matrix?
Requirement Traceability Matrix (RTM) captures all requirements
proposed by the client or development team and their traceability in
a single document delivered at the conclusion of the life-cycle.
In other words, it is a document that maps and traces user
requirement with test cases. The main purpose of RTM is to see that
all test cases are covered so that no functionality should miss while
testing.

SoftServe Confidential
Traceability Matrix importance
1. Information structuring
2. A means to evaluate completeness, consistency,
and traceability of the requirements of a system
3. Leads to full transparency and leverages test
coverage and defects to the requirements that
need to be met
4. Requirements changes tracking

Dependency Matrix

35.

SoftServe Confidential
A cycle
• a path which comes back to its origin;
• between 2 or more elements

36.

SoftServe Confidential
How to determine dependencies in cycle?
You said Graph?
Noooo!

37.

SoftServe Confidential
No!
Dependency it’s a relationship between conditions,
events, or tasks such that one cannot begin or becompleted until one or more other conditions, events,
or tasks have occurred, begun, or completed.
Dependency Structure Matrix (DSM) is a matrix
used to represent the project dependencies. It’s a
compact way to represent complex system.
