The MSOCC Data Switch Replacement: A Case Study in Elicitating and Elucidating Requirements

摘要

This paper is a case study of a situation in which a soft-systems methodology coupled with an object-oriented approach for viewing the requirements was used in a complex environment to gather a set of requirements. By considering the cost, priority, and risk attributes of the requirements, as well as clarifying the wording of the requirements for verifiability, an optimal systems architecture and development process was achieved in a relatively short period of time compared with the standard systems engineering process. Moreover, the Systems Requirements Review was deemed complete and comprehensive by the customer.
