This subject is integrated into the module corresponding to the Specific Technology identified in the syllabus as Software Engineering, and it is the foundation and complement of all the subjects of such Specific Technology, and especially of the following:
• Software design.
• Software Engineering Processes.
• Quality of Software Systems.
The competences acquired with this subject are fundamental for the profession of Computer Science Engineer. Requirements engineering is an activity on which the quality of the information systems developed by professionals depends to a great extent, since it provides the basis for the needs of the new systems to be developed. It is demonstrated that bad management in the main requirements engineering processes (elicitation, documentation, negotiation and validation of requirements) causes great damage, mainly in economic terms, image, delays and quality, although in many cases, it also impacts on losses of human lives.

Description | |
Knowledge and understanding of the application of tools and methods for the management of requirements of software. | |
Knowledge of and experience in applying the techniques of engineering requirements software to obtain, analyze, model, specify and validate requirements software and broad knowledge of the main notations for modeling. | |
