Software Engineering: SDLC, SRS, and Project Estimation

1. Software Requirements Engineering and SRS

Definition: Requirements Engineering (RE) is the systematic process of eliciting, analyzing, specifying, validating, and managing software requirements.

Software Requirements Specification (SRS): A formal document stating what the system shall do (functional requirements) and the constraints or quality expectations (non-functional requirements).

The RE Process Model

Stakeholders → Elicitation → Analysis/Negotiation → Specification (SRS) → Validation

UX Design Workflow: Wireframing, Prototyping, and Testing

Unit IV: Wireframing, Prototyping, and Usability Testing

1. Sketching Principles

  • Quick Representation: Use sketches to visualize and communicate ideas quickly.
  • Clarity Over Detail: Focus on the layout and structure; details can be added later.
  • Iterative: Sketch multiple variations of designs to explore different solutions.
  • Use Gestures: Don’t get bogged down by perfection; use simple lines and shapes to represent key elements.
  • Feedback: Share sketches early to gather insights from users or team members.
