January-2004 [18]

2.

a)         Requirement analysis is an unstructured task. The system analyst needs to identify the system requirements through an inquiry system. Discuss some of the basic questions that the system analyst should address at the time of requirement analysis.                   [6]

b)         What are the characteristics of a good software requirement specification (SRS) document?                                                                                                                    [6]

c)         Explain, how Prototyping can be used as a tool in the process of understanding the user's requirements?                                                                                                 [6]

1.         State whether the following statements are TRUE or FALSE. In each case, justify your answer using 3-4 sentences.

f)          A formal specification cannot be ambiguous.                                                               [4]

7.

a)         What is software requirement specification (SRS). List out the advantages of SRS standard?                                                                                                                   [9]

b)         What is need of formal specification and test for completeness? How does it help in quality of software?                                                                                                   [9]

a)         What is requirement analysis? What are some fact-finding techniques useful in the context of requirement analysis?                                                                                 [6]

b)         Bring out clearly the features of a good SRS document. What are the techniques to ensure quality of an SRS document?                                                                                [4]

c)         Discuss the contents of a software requirement specification document (SRS document). Differentiate between functional and non-functional requirements.                     [8]

2.

a)         What are the advantages and disadvantages of formal specification over traditional specification? Give at least one example for which formal specification is desirable and another for which formal specification is undesirable.                                                         [6]

5.

b)         What do you understand by requirements validation? How can requirements be validated?                                                                                                           [6]

2.

a)         What is requirement analysis? What is its importance? How will you obtain the required information for requirement analysis?                                                                              [8]

b)         Why is the software requirement specification document (SRS document) also known as the black specifications of a system?                                                                                [4]
