In Software Requirements Elicitation for Secure Software Development, we're going to discuss the overall software requirements process as it applies in waterfall, spiral, and agile models. You'll learn about each of these processes and your goals as a software requirements analyst. This is not an easy task! Who do you talk to, when, and what kind of knowledge are you trying to obtain, in any software life cycle? How do you handle obstacles as you go?

Software Lifecycles
Not all requirements documents are created equally- if at all (formally). How you work with requirements partially depends on the software lifecycle used. Here we learn about the different software development lifecycles and discuss how they affect the requirements we produce.

Goals and Models for Elicitation
To increase flexibility to change in software development, the agile lifecycle was produced. The agile process much changes how we deal with requirements. We discuss these challenges and your role as a requirements analyst. We also begin to analyze the types of statements that you want to form as you elicit data to move towards clarity.

TOP REVIEWS FROM REQUIREMENTS GATHERING FOR SECURE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
by SRJun 21, 2020
Professor seems a little underconfident. A little more training on her presentation skills would benefit her Other than that course and questions are easy which makes this a fun course.
by PDMay 28, 2020
Good informative course to understand about Software projects and how requirements gathering work.

I good baseline with useful information on both requirements gathering and basics of software development
by JPAug 23, 2020
It's easy to start coding, but difficult to organize ideas. Coding is not the start of software development, and this course teaches it.
