nalyze organizational processes to identify functional requirements
Before responding to this discussion, read both Requirements and Developing Requirements for an IT System assigned for Week 5. For your Stage 3 assignment, you will analyze the hiring process at Maryland Technology Consultants (MTC) to identify the functional requirements for the hiring system. For this discussion, you will practice analyzing processes to identify functional requirements for a system to improve a process.
Some students may still have difficulty identifying processes, so be sure to refer to the Week 3 reading that describes various processes, and review the Week 3 discussion. Keep in mind that a process is a set of specified steps to accomplish a task.
This week’s discussion topic focuses on functional requirements. These need to be clearly written so the people who are developing the system or evaluating a system for use, can discern whether or not the functional requirements are met.
The functional requirements statement:
Is a complete sentence, with a subject (system) and predicate (intended result, action or condition)
Identifies only one requirement; does not include the words “and,” “also,” “with,” and “or.”
States what tasks the system will support or perform
Includes a measure or metric that can be used to determine whether the functional requirement is met (time or quantity), where appropriate
Is stated in positive terms and uses “must” (not “may” or “should”); e.g., “the system must xxxx” not “the system must not xxx”
Avoids the use of terms that cannot be defined and measured, such as “approximately,” “robust,” “user friendly,” etc.
Must be testable; that is, there must be some way to test the system to determine whether the requirement is met
