This book tackles fundamental principles on which the methods, tools, and procedures of software engineering rely.
Explains the purposes and goals of requirements engineering, the nature of requirements engineering and its typical problems.
Covers operational requirements and technical specifications, baselines and change control boards, and version control procedures for requirements management.
The book's unifying theme is engineering problems solving and how the generic processes of engineering can be--must be--modified and adapted to account for software's unique aspects.
Each chapter includes exercises and an appendix contains topics for term projects and weekly assignments for completing term projects.
