Software Requirements - Encapsulation, Quality, and Reuse

Informationen zum Autor Rick Lutowski Klappentext Software Requirements: Encapsulation! Quality! and Reuse describes how to make requirements! and their implementing code! easier to change through the use of Freedom methodology. Freedom reduces software life cycle costs by making requirements quickly adaptable to changing technology and business needs. This book examines the definition of requirements and explains how they can be encapsulated within so software engineers and analysts can understand the nature of the requirements. With the theoretical underpinnings established! the book reviews the Freedom Requirements process and details the individual tasks of the process in a how-to fashion! explaining relevant terminology! recording notations! and more. Zusammenfassung Describes how to make requirements easy to change by using encapsulation. This book provides an overview of the Freedom methodology and details the individual tasks of the methodology in a 'how-to' fashion. It shows how the Freedom requirements methodology can be used as a part of an overall software development methodology.
