This is a collection of requirements, software engineering, software project management resources andother useful resources that we think are worth using, downloading or visiting. Requirements
"By using elements of the Volere process, to date, on the IBM Enterprise Systems Group's current SAP installation, I have had a cost reduction in application development of 47%. This is significant." John Capron, Worldwide Systems Technology Manager, IBM Enterprise Systems Group, Poughkeepsie, N.Y Joel Spolsky's Joel on Software site is worth
a visit. Go to the Complete Archive and look at the article called Painless
Functional Specifications. I would give you the direct link but you
should start at the home page and look at all he has to offer. http://www.joelonsoftware.com/index.html Creative Workshops Suzanne Robertson, Atlantic Systems Guild London and Neil Maiden Head of Human Computer Interface Design Centre at City University, London conducted a series of creative workshop they designed for Eurocontrol in Paris. The objective was to generate new ideas and requirements for air traffic management CORA-2 (Conflict Resolution Assistant), a system that will provide computerised assistance to air traffic controllers to resolve potential conflicts between aircraft. The participants at the Paris workshops were air traffic controllers, pilots, systems developers, administrators, project managers and a pool of experts from many different fields - including music, cooking, visualisation and textile design. The workshops were participative, and helped people to unleash their creativity. Groups were coached and then worked together to generate as many new ideas as they could. Then we helped them to make the ideas more concrete and categorise them by value. The first workshop generated 80 new and innovative design ideas and constraints. We used these as input to the second workshop and sparked 125 ideas at varying levels of detail. Then the third workshop added customer value to the ideas and made the best ones into concrete design solutions. More...
Didar Zowighi's RE-online discussion group about requirements engineering. To subscribe to the group, send "subscribe re-online" (without the quotes) in the body of an email message to majordomo@it.uts.edu.au. The discussion group used to be called SRE, and has a worldwide collection of requirements experts discussing topical issues. It is also a great place to ask for help. Further information for the mailing list can be found here. The Automated Requirement Measurement (ARM) tool to be found at http://satc.gsfc.nasa.gov/tools/arm/index.html is a plain text analysis tool. It was developed at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center as an early life cycle tool for assessing requirements. The intention is to provide measures that can be used by project managers to assess the quality of a requirements specification document. The tool is not intended to evaluate the correctness of the specified requirements. It is an aid to "writing the requirements right", not "writing the right requirement. CREWS (Cooperative Requirements Engineering with Scenarios) ESPRIT long term research project. http://www.soi.city.ac.uk/~cc559/CREWS.htmls". Alan Davis has updated his very comprehensive list of RE articles at http://www.uccs.edu/~adavis/reqbib.htm Alan also runs the Requirements Managament Place at http://www.RMPLACE.org INCOSE. The International Council on Systems Engineering. Requirements are considered an integral part of systems. Some good stuff at http://www.incose.org/rwg/. See also the requirements management tools survey at http://www.incose.org/tools/tooltax.html ISE/RE (Innovative Software Engineering/Requirements Engineering) The Journal of Requirements Engineering is worth looking at. This journal is young yet, but shows promise. J. Ludwig maintains a list of RE tools links at http://www.geocities.com/requirementsmanagement/index.html Karl Wiegers' Process Impact, Fairport, NY.
