Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is not for the happy go lucky requirements gatherer. It is a detailed breakdown of everything requirements engineering for software intensive systems. It will make you think.
The book describes the KAOS method in detail and the author uses Objectiver as the modeling tool. Sometimes a book is not worth buying when you are not using the tool. That is not the case with this book. It is packed with valuable advice and examples.
Reading the book did prompt me to download Objectiver. Very cool tool, but it is also complex. Complex is not a bad thing when you consider this book is about an engineering discipline, and engineering is needed because you are trying to do something complex.
The author covers the fundamentals of Requirements Engineering in detail in the first part of the book, Building System Models for Requirements Engineering in part two, and then Reasoning About System Models in part three.
This book does exactly what the title says, it shows you how to go from System Goals to UML Models to Software Specifications.
If you are building complex systems, this book is definitely for you.
I highly recommend this book, and have nothing negative to say about.

Essential comprehensive coverage of the fundamentals of requirements engineering
Requirements engineering (RE) deals with the variety of prerequisites that must be met by a software system within an organization in order for that system to produce stellar results. With that explanation in mind, this must-have book presents a disciplined approach to the engineering of high-quality requirements. Serving as a helpful introduction to the fundamental concepts and principles of requirements engineering, this guide offers a comprehensive review of the aim, scope, and role of requirements engineering as well as best practices and flaws to avoid.
Shares state-of-the-art techniques for domain analysis, requirements elicitation, risk analysis, conflict management, and more
Features in-depth treatment of system modeling in the specific context of engineering requirements
Presents various forms of reasoning about models for requirements quality assurance
Discusses the transitions from requirements to software specifications to software architecture
In addition, case studies are included that complement the many examples provided in the book in order to show you how the described method and techniques are applied in practical situations.
