PT3 - Requirement Specification

In order to start a project, it is useful to compile a so-called a specification of requirements that is used to map project objectives and different needs for the customer or different stakeholders. In any case, if the aim of the project is not to develop a new service or technical solutions to replace the existing ones, it is useful to map out the initial situation and describe the intended final situation. The descriptions can be quite simple, but especially for software products, the specification work is very important.

General instructions

The requirement gathering for a software is a iterative process. In this exercise the intention is to start from the high level customer needs and refine towards the tecnical feature level.

You should use demo of service (CodeMind Ltd has a demo running already) and use it as a source for you exercise. You have to evaluate a demo service, use it and collect "evidences" and record them as a form of the short requirement specification. For example you have to collect examples of functional requirements, features and non-functional requirements so you have to dig them out from a demo service*

How to work with MockUp and Prototype

As a part of exercise PT3 you should create a small example of MockUp-prototype for seleted feature/functionality assignment service and put the link in requiremet spefication. You can take a copy of userinterface as image and start to create new using new layer.

Here is example how to use Figma-tool for prototyping

Objective of the exercise:

  • Gain an understanding of what it takes to produce a requirement specification in practice
  • Understand what kind of imaging methods are needed to produce a definition
  • Learn the basics of customer-centric development
  • Familiarize yourself with the modern use of the MockUp tool as part of the requirement gathering process
