商品描述
This textbook shows how to develop the functional requirements of (information) systems. It emphasizes the importance to consider the complete development path of a functional requirement, i.e. not only the individual development steps but also their proper combination and their alignment.
The book consists of two parts: Part I presents the underlying theory while Part II contains various illustrative case studies. Part I starts with an introduction to the topic (Chapter 1). Then it explains how to develop functional requirements that represent the conceptual dynamics of an information system (Chapters 2 and 3). Chapters 4 and 5 explain how to model the conceptual statics of an information system. Chapter 6 gives some directions for implementation. Finally, Chapter 7 explains how a 'technical manager' can organize and manage the development process.
As an illustration of the theory, Part II contains three substantial case studies. The first one (Chapter 8) presents a stepwise development starting from an informal situation sketch via a simple domain model towards a precisely specified, full-fledged conceptual data model, which finally is translated to an SQL database. In the second case study (Chapter 9) the author converts the well-known non-trivial use case Process Sale from Larman into a textual System Sequence Description (SSD). For validation purposes, that textual SSD is subsequently translated into natural language and into a graphical SSD. The third case study (Chapter 10) shows the applicability of the author's approach to a control system and also illustrates the typical situation that the requirements are constantly changing during development.
This book is written for (under)graduate students in software engineering or information systems who want to learn how to carry out adequate problem analysis, to make good system specifications, and/or to understand how to organize and manage an IS-development process. It also targets practitioners who want to improve their problem analysis abilities and/or their ability to make good system specifications. To this end, it includes more than 150 explanatory figures and is accompanied by a Web site which provides additional course material such as slides, additional exercises, solutions to exercises, and the code for the figures used in the book.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本教科書展示了如何開發（資訊）系統的功能需求。它強調考慮功能需求的完整開發路徑的重要性，即不僅僅是個別的開發步驟，還包括它們的適當組合和對齊。
該書分為兩部分：第一部分介紹了基本理論，而第二部分包含了各種實例案例研究。第一部分從主題介紹（第1章）開始。然後解釋了如何開發代表資訊系統概念動態的功能需求（第2章和第3章）。第4章和第5章解釋了如何建模資訊系統的概念靜態。第6章提供了一些實施方向。最後，第7章解釋了“技術經理”如何組織和管理開發過程。
作為理論的說明，第二部分包含了三個實例案例研究。第一個案例研究（第8章）從一個非正式的情況草圖開始，通過一個簡單的領域模型逐步開發，最終轉化為精確指定的完整概念數據模型，最後轉化為SQL數據庫。在第二個案例研究（第9章）中，作者將Larman的著名非平凡用例“處理銷售”轉化為文本系統序列描述（SSD）。為了驗證目的，該文本SSD隨後被翻譯成自然語言和圖形SSD。第三個案例研究（第10章）展示了作者方法在控制系統中的應用，並且還說明了在開發過程中需求不斷變化的典型情況。
這本書是為軟體工程或資訊系統的（在）大學生和研究生撰寫的，他們想要學習如何進行適當的問題分析，制定良好的系統規範，以及/或者了解如何組織和管理IS開發過程。它還針對希望提高問題分析能力和/或制定良好系統規範能力的從業人員。為此，它包含了150多個解釋性圖片，並附帶一個網站，提供額外的課程材料，如幻燈片，額外的練習，練習解答和書中使用的圖片代碼。
作者簡介
Bert de Brock is Professor Emeritus of Business Information Modelling at the Faculty of Economics and Business of the University of Groningen, The Netherlands, a position he held for 15 years. Prior to that, he was Associate Professor of Information Technology, in particular Software Engineering, for more than 10 year.
Before moving into academia, Bert had worked as a senior researcher at Philips Research, e.g. developing generators for generic workflow software; and he had been founder, owner, and director of Remmen & De Brock, a software and consultancy firm specialized in requirements engineering and designing and building dedicated information systems for various customers.
Bert has taught Information Systems Development, Databases, Business Intelligence, E-venturing, and Programming for several decades, both to students and to practitioners.
