Requirements must be analysed to obtain a satisfactory understanding of the customer's need and negotiated to establish an agreed set of consistent (unambiguous, correct, complete, etc) requirements.
(IEEE) (1) The process of studying user needs to arrive at a definition of a system, hardware, or software requirements. (2) The process of studying and refining system, hardware, or software requirements. See: prototyping, software engineering.
A basic review of what features a product will need to have, who the end users will be, how many of users will be using the system simultaneously, what hardware they will be using, what users will expect of the system and the general structure of the interface. Section 508 A list of protocols which government web sites are expected to follow in order to provide accessible pages to disabled users.
The phase in Requirements Determination in which the initial set of requirements from the Elicitation phase are analysed for conflicts, overlaps, omissions and inconsistencies. Stakeholders negotiate to agree on a set of consistent system requirements.
A stage of the application life-cycle process in which business needs are translated into a deployment scenario logical architecture and a set of quality of service requirements the solution must meet.
a study of the information systems needs of the user and client management
A problem-solving activity that involves studying the ways an organization currently retrieves and processes data to produce information, identifies any problem areas, and considers how the users' needs might best be satisfied.
the requirements engineering task during which elicited requirements are studied, analyzed, modeled, and refined in order to ensure that they are complete, consistent, understandable, etc. when specified.
In systems engineering and software engineering, requirements analysis encompasses those tasks that go into determining the requirements of a new or altered system, taking account of the, possibly conflicting, requirements of the various stakeholders, such as users. Requirements analysis is critical to the success of a project.
