Software Requirement Engineering

Course Description

The engineers who develop software and the people who use it usually have different backgrounds and perspectives. Developers and users may speak the same language, but often their words don't have a common meaning. These differences often lead to "good" software that doesn’t do what the users really wanted or needed.
