As requirements engineering continues to be recognized as the key to on‎-time and on‎-budget delivery of software and systems projects‎,‎ many engineering programs have made requirements engineering mandatory in their curriculum‎.‎ In addition‎,‎ the wealth of new software tools that have recently emerged is empowering practicing engineers to improve their requirements engineering habits‎.‎ However‎,‎ these tools are not easy to use without appropriate training‎.‎ Filling this need‎,‎ Requirements Engineering for Software and Systems‎,‎ Second Edition has been vastly updated and expanded to include about 30 percent new material‎.‎ In addition to new exercises and updated references in every chapter‎,‎ this edition updates all chapters with the latest applied research and industry practices‎.‎ It also presents new material derived from the experiences of professors who have used the text in their classrooms‎.‎Improvements to this edition include‎:‎ * An expanded introductory chapter with extensive discussions on requirements analysis‎,‎ agreement‎,‎ and consolidation * An expanded chapter on requirements engineering for Agile methodologies * An expanded chapter on formal methods with new examples * An expanded section on requirements traceability * An updated and expanded section on requirements engineering tools * New exercises including ones suitable for research projects Following in the footsteps of its bestselling predecessor‎,‎ the text illustrates key ideas associated with requirements engineering using extensive case studies and three common example systems‎:‎ an airline baggage handling system‎,‎ a point‎-of‎-sale system for a large pet store chain‎,‎ and a system for a smart home‎.‎ This edition also includes an example of a wet well pumping system for a wastewater treatment station‎.‎ With a focus on software‎-intensive systems‎,‎ but highly applicable to non‎-software systems‎,‎ this text provides a probing and comprehensive review of recent developments in requirements engineering in high integrity systems‎.‎
