Product Description
Product Description
Today's Internet-based software must be developed at a breakneck pace, and it must deliver unprecedented levels of performance, reliability, and availability. Success begins with absolute clarity about requirements. A Requirements Pattern helps developers and project team members gain that clarity, by presenting a proven pattern for building superior Internet-based software. Leading consultant Patricia Ferdinandi begins by demonstrating why requirements are so crucial in today's development environments, and why a modern requirements approach can make it far easier to build successful Internet software. This book introduces software requirements for functional project elements, non-functional elements, and quality levels. It demonstrates how to use requirements to build software that is flexible and can evolve to meet new business needs; how to ask the right questions; and how to manage the requirements process, specifying the most appropriate role for each participant. Ferdinandi even presents a full chapter of e-commerce "anti-patterns" that have proven to fail in real-world development -- and what to do instead. For all software engineers, systems analysts, quality control personnel, project leaders, and other participants in Internet application development projects.

a rare enlightening book in a field bogged down by books that miss the mark, 6 April 2007
By Antonio Rubiera - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Requirements Pattern: Succeeding in the Internet Economy (Information Technology) (Paperback)
When trying to understand what information architectures are all about, this is the only book I have come across that answered all of my questions and placed the field in context with modern technologies. Unfortunately, most books on information architectures fall into two categories that miss the mark:
1. There are books written by IA experts before the internet, and the terms and viewpoint used require considerable on-the-fly translations to modern technologies.
2. There are books written by IT experts who couldn't spot an IA if it bit them on the leg. These books are fat with useless lists of IT technologies and acronyms.
Fredinandi's book is worth reading cover-to-cover, and more than once.

The best book on Internet software requirements gathering, 6 Dec 2001
By David Siebenheller "dave" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Requirements Pattern: Succeeding in the Internet Economy (Information Technology) (Paperback)
Ms Ferdinandi does an excellent job exploring the unique process of gathering requirements for web-based development projects. When your business partner is operating on "Internet time" it's easy to take shortcuts that can have disastrous consequences later. This book provides a methodology that ensures you can deliver systems quickly while not neglecting important aspects of the requirements gathering and management process. Covers initial project requirements as well as enhancement requirements. Highly recommended.

Great reference for developing high quality requirements, 18 Dec 2001
By Jill Jeffrey - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Requirements Pattern: Succeeding in the Internet Economy (Information Technology) (Paperback)
Validating requirements is a tough job especially for someone like me that is not intimately involved in the project. I'm called in to review requirements for quality. Sure, I can use the checklist that appears in so many requirement type books. This is the FIRST book that talks about looking at all the requirements and checking to see if you have any gaps in knowledge. The way the author categorizes requirements, it is easy to follow and so simple to implement in any size organization for any type of project. I will be able to help the team way before design begins. The cross-checking techniques will save me time and the company money.
