Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Requirements Writing for System Engineering shows a beginner how to collect, craft, and maintain requirements correctly and completely. Problems with requirements are analyzed, and techniques are presented to mitigate and prevent these problems. Written requirements are essential to large software projects, and especially when those projects are government funded. Anyone aiming to sell software services to State and Federal governments will find much in this book to give them an edge on their competition. Indeed, more than edge. Those lacking what this book covers will find themselves not even in consideration, and missing out completely on lucrative government contracts. Writing Requirements is essential in scoping a software project, protecting the contractor from overruns, and ensuring that all needs are met.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
The importance of requirements -- What makes a good requirement? -- Specialized language -- Functional requirements-- Nonfunctional requirements -- Lists of Items and the order of steps and data elements -- Data Interfaces and documents -- Physical requirements -- How to collect requirements -- User interface requirements -- Managing requirements -- Supplementing or replacing standard requirements -- User stories -- Use cases.

Author notes provided by Syndetics
George Koelsch is a system engineer who resides in Northern Virginia within the DC metro area. He started writing requirements 40 years ago while in the US Army, and has continued that work for the last 30 years as a contractor for the Federal Government. He became an efficiency expert during a five year stint as an Industrial Engineer at Michelin Tire Corporation, and he then applied that new skill to system engineering to tailor the lifecycle development process. He was among the first requirement engineers in the DC area to employ such a technique. Koelsch has authored ten non-fiction articles on computers, coin collecting, stamp collecting, and high-energy physics. He recently decided to combine his two passions, system engineering and writing.
