SOEN Chapter 4 Intro

What is the process called that involves finding out, analyzing, and documenting the services a system should provide and the constraints on it, which reflects the needs of customers?

• Software Testing

• System Design

• Requirements Engineering

• Code Implementation

What is the primary goal of the first stage in the software engineering process known as Requirements Engineering (RE)?

• To design the system's architecture

• To establish a high-level view of what the system might do and the benefits it might provide

• To implement the system's code

• To perform system testing and debugging

Which statement best describes user requirements?

• They provide a detailed description of the system's design and implementation.

• They outline the specific technical specifications needed for the system.

• They focus on testing and validating the system's performance.

• They are high-level abstract requirements that focus on the system's overall functionality and objectives.

What do system requirements provide?

• Detailed functionalities and constraints

• High-level goals and objectives

• Abstract descriptions of user needs

• Marketing and business objectives

What do functional requirements typically specify for a system?

• Constraints on development processes and time

• Services the system should provide, its reactions to inputs, and behavior in specific situations

• Constraints on hardware and network infrastructure

• High-level goals and business objectives

What do non-functional requirements specify?

• Specific services delivered by the system

• Detailed descriptions of user interactions with the system

• Constraints on the whole system

• The exact features and functionalities of the system

What are the three key activities involved in requirements engineering?

• Elicitation and Analysis, Specification, and Validation

• Elicitation, Design, and Testing

• Specification, Implementation, and Maintenance

• Validation, Deployment, and Documentation

Which activity in requirements engineering involves converting discovered requirements into a standard form?

• Elicitation and Analysis

• Design

• Validation

• Specification

How do functional requirements differ from non-functional requirements?

• Functional requirements specify "what" the system does; non-functional requirements specify "how" well it performs.

• Functional requirements focus on constraints; non-functional requirements focus on user needs.

• Functional requirements describe system behavior; non-functional requirements describe specific features.

• Functional requirements are about time constraints; non-functional requirements are about system features.

Why do readers of the system requirements need to understand what the system will do?

• To know the system's hardware specifications

• To understand how the system will support business processes

• To assess the system's development cost

• To evaluate the marketing strategy
