Reviewing Requirements and Design Adequacy
Most developers do not know how to test that requirements and design are accurate and complete. At best, they use one or two weak methods which are insufficient to help prevent costly rework and up to two-thirds of the errors which traditionally plague finished systems. This unique seminar workshop shows numerous ways to test up-front, where payoffs are greatest. Applying the techniques successively to a real case, participants discover that each technique reveals additional, otherwise-overlooked defects. Participants realize how this testing also improves meaningful customer involvement and communication.

The seminar topics include: |
|
Value of Testing Up-front
Testing Requirements Formats
Finding Overlooked Requirements
Assuring Accuracy/Completeness
Testing Project Finances
Reviewing Design Suitability

More than 21 ways to test business requirements and 15 ways to test designs.

Evaluating the levels of quality embodied within the requirements and design.
Testing techniques that enhance customers’ involvement and communication with management.
Preventing future difficulties related to producibility, maintainability, and usability
