Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Though everyone in software design knows about requirements, actual examples have usually remained shrouded in secrecy whether out of concerns over intellectual property or client confidentiality. One considerable strength of this title is that the author has seen many good and bad requirements documents and come up with several complete samples for a Danish shipyard and two hospital systems that can be published here.
Reading Software Requirements will likely convince you that you can do better with your requirements documents. Though there is no one "best" way, certain types of requirements work for certain situations better than others. This text can help you choose. Certain to be required reading for serious software analysts, this title can also benefit virtually anyone who works with software design documents. Its clear presentation style, remarkably devoid of jargon, helps make this book a great resource for a wide range of readers, with or without a background in traditional software engineering. --Richard Dragan

The article was just enough to make me realize that most of us who think of software requirements being just a question of good sense plus large eyes and ears, are wrong. It's neither scientific theory, but it's an art. The author has captured the essence of making proper requirements into a quite clever method whose most remarkable characteristic is simplicity.
The book indeed discusses the method invented by the author himself but not only: it contains a quite good inventory of the whole range of modelling and requirement methodologies that have been invented. Each one is positioned with regard to what it can bring and where it helps.
Simply stated: eyes opening!
It's already a few month ago that I purchased the book and tried: as a software and systems architect, the book in general and "tasks & support" method in particular have already been helping me on several occasions.
The author presents various techniques and models, and he stresses that there is no RIGHT model for all situations. He also discusses practical issues/problems, with a balance between pragmatism and perfection. The book discusses the types of projects, contracts and appropriate requirement elicitation/engineering techniques to be considered.
One of the rare books, that discuss seriously Quality Requirements, not from the surface and not just by listing them from standards, but in details with practical examples, especially usability.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who deals with requirements! Practitioners, students and teachers.
I fully recommend it to anyone involved in requirements analysis. Not a "theoretical" book but one with great practical information. It has also fulll examples of requirement specs!
I invite anyone interested in taking look at slides that are available in author's website. They give you an good overview on books value. When I saw these slides and "Task & Support" requirements style I just had to buy this book.
I am not involved in any way with the author. I just want to give this good review because I feel the book can FINALLY shed light on requirements analysis with CONCRETE examples of requirements and not just some academic theories.
Listmania!
