SE Radio 604: Karl Wiegers and Candase Hokanson on Software Requirements Essentials

Karl Wiegers, Principal Consultant with Process
Impact and author of 14 books, and Candase
Hokanson, Business Architect and PMI-Agile Certified
Practitioner at ArgonDigital, speak with SE Radio host Gavin
Henry about software requirements essentials. They explore five
different parts of requirements engineering and how you can apply
them to any ongoing project. Wiegers and Hokanson describe why
requirements constantly change, how you can test that you're
meeting them, and why the tools you have at hand are suitable to
start straight away. They discuss the need for requirements in
every software project and provide recommendations on how to
gather, analyze, validate, and manage those requirements. Candase
and Karl offer in-depth perspectives on a range of topics,
including how to elicit requirements, speak with users, get to
the source of the business or user goal, and create requirement
sets, models, prototypes, and baselines. Finally, they look at
specifications you can use, and how to validate, test, and verify
them. Brought to you by IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Software
