Summary
Requirement analysis is critical for good system design» Errors made here are very hard to rectify later
Structured techniques are available» Small-scale: FSM, Statechart, Petri-Net» Large-scale: Functional, OOAD
Requirement documents capture essential information» Format and content are often regulated by
government agencies (FAA, DoD, NASA)
