Requirements Engineering (RE) provides the basis for successful software development, and is increasingly recognized by practitioners as one of the most important stages in the software development life cycle. For these reasons, it also has attracted much interest in the research community. In this course, you will gain advanced knowledge and practical understanding about the systematic approaches for elicitation, analysis, modeling, specification and validation of software requirements.

The course covers such topics as:

• Why is RE important for the industry practice?
• What are the core principles of RE?
• How do we elicit requirements and what are the challenges associated with software requirements elicitation?
• How to manage software requirements in agile environments?
• How do we specify requirements using industry standards?
• How to do quality assurance in requirements engineering & how do you manage software requirements?

If you are enrolled in this course as a component of your Bachelor Honours Program, your overall mark will contribute to the calculation of the weighted average mark (WAM).
