System Requirement and Development Life Cycle

0.0

Communicating user needs - the requirements of a system - is a skill difficult to learn, pin down and codify into best practice. There is no single right way. XP evangelists now encourage those planning developments to include scenarios in their user stories. Scenarios offer a powerful vehicle for expressing and sharing user needs. There are many flavours of scenario, and these may well be applicable in projects of different types. In this book leading industry consultants and opinion-formers present a range of techniques from the light, sketchy and agile to the careful and systematic. Special Feature Kent Beck, Suzanne Robertson and Ellen Gottesdiener lead the cast of industry heavyweights Topics include storyboarding, user stories, sketchy and fully-detailed use cases Domain coverage spans custom software, integrations of COTS software packages, and embedded hardware/software systems Practical approach to show how to apply scenarios to projects throughout the life-cycle Real world case studies from Philips, Nokia, Eurocontrol and Daimler Chrysler
