Number: 4024 Title: Software Requirements Engineering Level: Micromaster Field: Software Credits: 3 Type: Theoretical Category: Fundamental Priority: 40 Prerequisite: – Co-requisite: – Image: sreq.png ID: 4024 Instructor: Education Term: Summer 2025 Schedule: Saturday 15:00 - 18:00

General Objective

The implementation of a computer system will fail if its requirements are not properly addressed. With the expansion and increasing complexity of computer systems, the accurate identification of their requirements has also become a complex process. Therefore, it is necessary to use methods and techniques for identifying, describing and documenting, modeling, and validating the requirements of computer systems. The objective of this course is to familiarize graduate students with these methods and techniques. Specifically, the topics covered in this course include: (1) Elicitation and identification of functional and non-functional requirements, (2) Organizing and prioritizing requirements, (3) Techniques for describing and documenting requirements, (4) Techniques for modeling requirements, (5) Techniques for analyzing, verifying, and validating requirements.
