week 2 discussion

part 1

Prior to beginning this discussion forum, read Chapter 7: Understanding Requirements.

For this discussion forum, you will focus on the groundwork of requirements engineering by identifying the stakeholders, recognizing multiple viewpoints, and functional and non-functional requirements. Functional requirement describes the system services or functions, while non-functional requirements (NFR) are the constraints on the system or the development process.

In your initial post,

• Provide some examples of functional and non-functional requirements.
• Explain requirements engineering as an iterative process, focusing on the requirements elicitation process.
• Discuss some of the challenges in determining the software requirements when stakeholders are involved.

part 2

Complete the following exercises found in your text in Problems and Points to Ponder: 7.2, 7.3, and 7.9. Post your answers in a Word document. You must show all of your work for each problem. Since you will have homework assignments in each week of the course, name your document with the specific week and your first initial and last name.
