Requirements Engineering

Most comprehensive description of requirements engineering (RE) fundamentals and principles as well as up-to-date techniques, such as goal-oriented RE and scenario-based RE

Presentation of a didactically sound and industrially validated framework to structure the RE process and procedures

Numerous real-world examples to illustrate all aspects of RE.

Many checklists and guidelines to support readers in their application of the concepts presented.
