Requirements Engineering, 6 credits

The course focuses on basic and advanced knowledge and skills in Requirements Engineering for the development of software-intensive systems and products. The course provides the students with both a theoretical and practical application of methods and techniques for requirements engineering. A particular focus will be set on the structured specification of requirements according to an established artefact model which reflects both the state of the art and the state of practice in the field and which is applicable for different philosophies (agile and plan-driven alike). In the course, we will put a particular focus on considering requirements engineering as a holistic discipline deeply integrated into the software development life cycle.
