Chapter 2 Requirements model basics


Objects in a requirements model

A requirements model has some specific objects:

Object Description
Requirement The name and description of an action. It can be part of a hierarchy with parent and child requirements. It must be defined precisely before being assigned to users and groups
Glossary term A word used in a requirements model. It must be defined precisely to avoid misunderstandings and set a common vocabulary
User A person that is concerned by at least one requirement
Group A group of users that have a common interest in satisfying at least one requirement

None of these objects has a graphic symbol, since there are no diagrams in a requirements model. Requirements are listed in document views. Traceability matrix views display the links between requirements and design objects (objects from other types of models), external files or other requirements.

All objects appear in the Browser tree view.
