(Individual) Assignment – Requirements Engineering

I. Due

Monday16 December 2019 at the beginning of class.

II. Objectives

1. Learn how to analyze a problem scenario.

2. Learn the process of engineering requirements and deriving requirements
specifications.

III. References

1. Lecture slides

IV. Software Required

1. Microsoft Word.
2. Requirements Management Tool(s) (Get help from www.google.com for these tools)
3. WinZip as necessary

V. Assignment

1. Problem Statement:

The university student registration system is unable to cope with the high volume
of telephone calls received at registration time. An online student registration
system needs to be developed.

2. Perform a system investigation and analyze the system to determine the

requirements (operational, functional, hardware, software, input, process, output,
etc.) for such a system. Each requirement should be numerically itemized.

3. Document the requirements and specifications in a file using Microsoft Word and
a mainstream requirements management tool. Please refer to the SRS document
excerpt located at the end of this assignment for a list of what information may
 need to be included. You may decide to include additional information as
applicable and any diagrams that will help in the analysis. Save the requirements
specification file as a Word document. Name the file
“Assi-1-SE-Semester-Session-rollNo” (e.g., “Assi-1-SE-3-Morning-1156.doc”). Also
submit a zip of the project archive produced by the requirements management tool
of your choice.

4. Email your assignment file to your CR, and submit a hard copy of the
requirements specification file to the professor by the due date. Please note that all
files/archives submitted must include your roll no.

VI. Deliverables

1. Electronic:

Your assignment file must be emailed to the CR. The file must be
