Customer Reviews

This is my table top book for requirements

This book is not new, but still is the best reference for requirements specification methods you can find. Must read for any practicing Software Engineer or systems analyst. I would love to see another edition of this book.

The BEST reference book on non-functional requirements

I should admit right away: I have not read the whole book. However, it is one of my most frequently used references at work, when I need to express the requirements that do not fit into use-case format. The collection of techniques in the book is truly impressive. Aside from dataflow graphs, decision tables, state charts of all flavors, the book includes some exotic techniques, such as Petri nets. You never know what will come handy on your next project, so keep Davis' book on your shelf.

THE Software Requirements Engineering Textbook

Through this book I finally learned what is meant by analysis in software engineering, that most people are designing even though they might be saying that they are analyzing and that there is not just one universal requirements technique. The selection of the technique depends on the problem you have.
