Abstract

This chapter treats the development path of an individual functional requirement (FR). Chapter 7 discusses how to manage a (large) set of functional requirements, a set which will (initially) not be delimited clearly and is also constantly changing.

This chapter starts with an overview of the development path of an FR (Sect. 2.1). Then it delves deeper into the notions concerned: user wishes (Sect. 2.2), user stories (Sect. 2.3), use cases (Sect. 2.4), (textual) system sequence descriptions (SSDs, Sect. 2.5), forms (Sect. 2.6), and scenario integration (Sect. 2.7). Section 2.8 works out how to map textual SSDs to natural language and to graphical SSDs in a systematic way. This is useful for validation, for explanation, and also for customer-friendly documentation.

Finally, Sect. 2.9 summarizes our approach to develop a functional requirement and writes it out as an IS development business process.
