Requirements Engineering – automated
Requirements Engineering - what is it? The activities of requirements engineering typically include following: Requirements elicitation - Discovering needs and wants regarding the software product. Requirements analysis– examining, interpreting and verifying requirements, includes checking for defects, tracing requirements to business objectives. This can include diagramming. System Modeling - is a form of requirements analysis, it means describing a system with diagrams such as Use Case Diagrams, Entity Relationship Models, Data flow diagrams, Class diagrams, wire frames and other user experience mock ups. The role of modelling is to describe the system so that a common and consistent understanding is reached by all those involved [...]

If you want to become a more successful product owner, start testing those stories as early as possible. User stories are an expression of requirements on agile software endeavours. Like other software development deliverables, they too are also prone to errors. The particular challenges with user stories is that they can very easily be misinterpreted, which can lead to a lot of wasted work. In fact they are [...]
