Week 3

Requirements Gathering:

We all know about the different techiniques for information gathering 'reviewing existing documents, interviews, observation ect...' and what each strength and weeknesses assocated with these are. This week we looked at how a system analyist would go about aquiring the information needed to create the system from its users.

We identified that users dont always work the way the organisation created system works so the correct way and acctual way of doing something has to be identified during this process.

There are two types of requirements functional (activities systems must proform) and non-functional (such as useability, reliability, and security requirements).

PODCASTS: I cant help but think that this topic was brought up in the tutes as a way of infulencing more individuals to sign up for the unit podcast.. *casts a disparaging look*

Amusing facts: Tutor has left the room twice to take calls :P
