Requirements Engineering

RezensionFrom the reviews:"[.] Pohl succeeds in providing "a comprehensive, well-structured, and easy-to-read. compendium" on the field of requirements engineering where such did not exist previously. It serves as an excellent reference volume [.]. The layout, visuals, and organization of the book are exceptional. [.] Students, practitioners, and researchers with an interest in requirements engineering for software and systems engineering should consider adding this unique book to their library." ACM Computing Reviews, Michael G. Murphy, Southern Polytechnic State University, Marietta, GA, USA, January 2011"800-page volume divided into eight parts and 38 chapters. Pohl went to great lengths in organizing the book, and has been successful in providing a clean, comprehensive, and well-structured work. Each part provides collections of basic and advanced reading lists for the individual chapters. The book concludes with a very helpful glossary of terms, a comprehensive collection of references, and a well-organized index. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduate through professional collections." J. Beidler, Choice, Vol. 48 (6), February 2011

This textbook provides a comprehensive and well-structured introduction to the fundamentals, principles, and techniques of requirements engineering.  The book includes numerous real-world examples to illustrate all aspects of requirements engineering.
