Review
From the reviews: "[...] Pohl succeeds in providing “a comprehensive, well-structured, and easy-to-read ... compendium” on the field of requirements engineering where such did not exist previously. It serves as an excellent reference volume [...]. The layout, visuals, and organization of the book are exceptional. [...] Students, practitioners, and researchers with an interest in requirements engineering for software and systems engineering should consider adding this unique book to their library." ACM Computing Reviews, Michael G. Murphy, Southern Polytechnic State University, Marietta, GA, USA, January 2011 "800-page volume divided into eight parts and 38 chapters. Pohl went to great lengths in organizing the book, and has been successful in providing a clean, comprehensive, and well-structured work. … Each part provides collections of basic and advanced reading lists for the individual chapters. The book concludes with a very helpful glossary of terms, a comprehensive collection of references, and a well-organized index. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduate through professional collections." J. Beidler, Choice, Vol. 48 (6), February 2011
Product Description
Requirements engineering is the process of eliciting individual stakeholder requirements and needs and developing them into detailed, agreed requirements documented and specified in such a way that they can serve as the basis for all other system development activities. In this textbook, Klaus Pohl provides a comprehensive and well-structured introduction to the fundamentals, principles, and techniques of requirements engineering. He presents approved techniques for eliciting, negotiating and documenting as well as validating, and managing requirements for software-intensive systems. The various aspects of the process and the techniques are illustrated using numerous examples based on his extensive teaching experience and his work in industrial collaborations. His presentation aims at professionals, students, and lecturers in systems and software engineering or business applications development. Professionals such as project managers, software architects, systems analysts, and software engineers will benefit in their daily work from the didactically well-presented combination of validated procedures and industrial experience. Students and lecturers will appreciate the comprehensive description of sound fundamentals, principles, and techniques, which is completed by a huge commented list of references for further reading. Lecturers will find additional teaching material on the book’s website, www.requirements-book.com.

Awesome!!! By far the best requirements book EVER!!!
12 Jan 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
It is not common to see a book like this come out in today's technical book market, or for that matter in any era of the technical book market. Today most books are rushed to market, and publishers seem desperate for authors, because there is some real junk being published. But I am not comparing this book to the junk. I am comparing it to the classics like Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software, Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture, and Code Complete: A Practical Handbook of Software Construction, Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code .
This book is going to be a classic. It is the best book I have seen on Requirements Engineering, by far!!!! It is organized very well. The logical flow and organization of the book helps to make it a great read from front to back, as well as a great reference.
Some, I repeat "some", of what it covers includes System and Context Boundaries, Fundamentals of Goal Orientation, Documenting Goals, Fundamentals of Scenarios, Scenario Types, Documenting Scenarios, Solution-Oriented Requirements, Documenting Requirements in the Data Perspective, Documenting Requirements in the Functional Perspective, Documenting Requirements in the Behavioural Perspective, Documenting Quality Requirements in the Three Perspectives, Using UML2 and SysML, Natural Language Documentation, Structuring Natural Language Requirements, Fundamentals of Conceptual Modelling, Elicitation Techniques, Requirements Negotiation, Conflict Management, Requirements Validation, Requirements Management, Requirements Traceability, Prioritising Requirements, Change Management for Requirements, Co-development of Requirements and Architectural Artefacts, Requirements Engineering for Software Product Lines.
The topics are in depth and concise. No filler chatter to make the book bigger. The way it covers the topics is through the use of a visual framework which breaks the topics down into different topics and activities. The framework allows you to see how all the topics and activities are related.
The book contains a nice glossary, index and a well organized section on the references and other reading material.
The book is big, which is a welcome change from some of the small books being printed today. Some of the diagrams in the smaller books can hardly be read. That is not the case with this book.
This book does a wonderful job of making a very intense and difficult job understandable. If you have anything to do with software development this book is a must read.
If you buy just one book on software development in this decade, make this the book. You won't regret it.

Taking the Timothy J Eveleigh Developed Class
18 May 2012
Format:Hardcover
I have just finished taking the class developed by Dr Eveleigh using this book. In a 10 week course we plowed through 700 of 800 pages. If requirements is the root of all system engineering problems then what is needed is a short, concise book. In no way could I give this to my supervisor and say "Hey boss! This is great stuff! Give it a read over the weekend and we'll begin to implement next week." Nor could I give it to an inexperienced person and expect them to produce good requirement artifacts. Other than the dedicated requirements engineer, I don't know who would ever want to or could use this book.
Dr Eveliegh is correct, the book is complete. However, it reads like a programing language documentation book where every idea and thought of requirements engineering is documented. It is a good reference book but for class room learning in a standard course length it is rather overwhelming.
