Introduction to Requirements Discovery Requirements discovery – the process and techniques used by systems analysts to identify or extract system problems and solution requirements from the user community. System requirement – something that the information system must do or a property that it must have. Also called a business requirement. Teaching Notes This chapter focuses on the techniques and activities for eliciting system requirements as well as how to properly validate and document requirements. The authors have placed an emphasis on this chapter because recent studies have shown that as many as 80% of all system development failures can be traced back to problems with requirements. Functional vs. Nonfunctional Requirements Functional requirement - something the information system must do Nonfunctional requirement - a property or quality the system must have Performance Security Costs Conversion Notes This slide is new in the seventh .
