Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to:
• Understand the main aspects related to the process of requirements engineering and its context within projects.
• Design and modeling information systems based on UML, according to various perspectives, mainly the business and analysis perspectives of the system.
• Define and produce requirements specifications of information systems, integrating textual with graphical specifications and models.
• Understand and apply requirements specifications’ validation techniques in order to ensure their quality.
• Learn to use software tools to support the modeling and requirements engineering tasks.

The program covers the following topics:
• Introduction to requirements engineering.
• Process and techniques of requirements development: requirements elicitation and analysis, requirements writing, requirements validation.
• Process and techniques of requirements management.
• Introduction to UML.
• System structure modeling.
• Use cases modeling.
• Interactions modeling.
• Life cycles modeling.
• System behavior modeling.
• Non-functional requirements.
