Linda A. Macaulay.
Requirements Engineering.
Springer. 1996

(read but not reviewed)

Requirements engineering is an integral part of most information system and software engineering courses, and is increasingly recognised as a discipline in its own right.

This book shows how vital it is to understand the needs (or ‘requirements’) of industry and commerce when developing an effective software system.

It covers all the major topics, including human and organisational factors and technical and hardware issues.

Linda Macaulay’s aim is to help students apply the theory they have learned, lots of exercises, practical guides and case studies are included – all drawn from relevant and topical industrial and commercial R&D projects.
