Chapter 6. Introduction to the Case Study

The purpose of this chapter is to introduce the case study used as an example in Chapters 7 through 9. The detailed requirements and the corresponding solution, with an emphasis on the architectural elements, are progressively introduced and discussed in these chapters. This chapter sets the context and describes the high-level requirements for the solution.

This information is input to several tasks undertaken during the definition of the detailed requirements, as you will see in Chapter 7, “Defining the Requirements.”
