Chapter 3. Approaches to Requirements Engineering
It may seem a strange principle to enunciate as the very first requirement in a Hospital that it should do the sick no harm.
Florence Nightingale (Notes on Hospitals, 1863)
In this chapter, I survey some of the many different approaches to requirements engineering that have been taken to help software developers uncover, structure and document requirements and understand them better. I also introduce some of the Unified Modelling Language (UML) notation that we will need in subsequent chapters.
The chapter then begins to lay out a practical approach to requirements engineering that is suitable for SOA projects.
