Summary
In this chapter, we have covered a complete overview of software requirements. Knowing the characteristics of a well-defined software requirement, how to collect it, and how to document it is a very good foundation to build software architecture upon. Regardless of the technology and methodologies used in your projects, these ideas will help you to get your project up to speed and to build a collaborative, trusting relationship with your business counterparts.
On the business side, the use of such tools and practices will allow for a structured way to provide input to the technical team and track the progression and coverage of the features implemented.
In the next chapter, we will look at software architecture modeling and what methodologies can be used for representing an architectural design.
