Objectives

• By the end of this course delegates will be able to:
• Develop requirements for software-intensive systems using proven methodologies
• Build a use case-based requirements model
• Write user stories and brief, casual and fully developed use cases
• Model user interface using mock-ups and develop a data model
• Validate requirements, manage the changes and keep traceability.
