Intro

  • Requirements Analysis is building models of requirements that can be evaluated.
  • It is also about identifying conflicts between requirements.
  • Formally modeling natural language requirements is hard ! also, requirements also conflict with multiple stakeholders.
  • Techniques used are: UML and SCR tables.

Analysis using UML

  • UML modeling can be used to analyse requirements.
  • Use cases (Are these part of UML ?) - to define functional requirements.
  • Static Structure Diagrams - To model object and relationships. [TODO : Isnt this stepping into design ?]
  • Dynamic behavior diagrams - to model interaction and sequencing.
  • There are also UML analysis patterns which help reuse existing models. These are usually domain specific.
    • Note: this is different from a design pattern.

Sequence Diagrams

  • Can be used to describe how actors in a use case are interacting.
  • Human and proactive system actors (the primary actors) should be on the left most side of the diagram.
  • Reactive system actors (the supporting actors) are on the right most side of the diagram.
