Requirements DeterminationInformation Gathering Approach Examples
Interview - current system operations - data needs - proposed system requirements - process sequences
Questionnaire - confirmation of facts - end-user demographics- general user attitudes
Focus Group - conflicting system requirements- synergies across functional areas
Observation - implementation of current processes- confirmation of interview data
Archival Document Analysis - Org. policies & procedures - current system documentation- examples of data capture & usage
External Research - industry best-practices- technological developments
Joint Application Design - synergistic gathering of system requirements- identification of conflicting perspectives
Iterative Prototyping - refined understanding of system configuration- operationalization of system look and feel

Well-Stated System Requirements
Requirements Characteristic
Description
Testable and Verifiable Requirement must be stated to allow for independent verification that the system meets or exceeds the stated requirement.
Justifiable Requirement should be necessary rather than simply desirable.
Unambiguous Requirement should be stated such that multiple interpretations are excluded.
Consistent Requirement should not be in conflict with any other stated requirement.
Modifiable Requirement should allow for changes in the business environment.
Hierarchically Traceable Requirement should contain a single system attribute and should be traceable back to a higher level requirement.

Testable vs. Nontestable
Testable Requirement Nontestable Requirement
Compute Price Extension by multiplying Quantity by Unit Price.
Price Extension is the total cost for each item ordered.
Reorder Quantity is computed by multiplying Average Daily Sales by 30.
Reorder Quantity should be equal to a 30 day supply.
Daily inventory levels must be accurate. Daily inventory levels must be accurate to within 2% for at least 99% of all raw material stores.
The system must increase sales and market share.
The system will increase annual sales by 14% and current market share by 6.5% within the first 12 months of operation.

Traditional Information Gathering
Information Gathering Activity
Explanation
Direct Interview Consists of meeting with individuals or small groups to ask questions about their roles, responsibilities, and needs for the current and proposed systems.
Questionnaires and Surveys
Consists of submitting written, structured questions to selected individuals to gather information regarding attitudes, perceptions, or population characteristics.
Direct Observation Consists of observing individuals or groups, processes, and events to determine the facts surrounding a particular process or the culture within a business environment.
Archival Document Analysis
Consists of reviewing recorded organizational documents such as current system documentation, mission statements, policies and procedures, and recorded memos and reports.
Forms Analysis Consists of analyzing and cataloging the existing data capture forms within the organization to assist in determining the current sources and uses of data.

Direct Interview
Advantages Disadvantages
• Analyst can motivate the respondent to answer freely and openly.
• Respondent can more easily develop a sense of active contribution to the proposed system.
• Analyst can probe for additional information and feedback.
• Questions can be reworded or restated for better clarity or to facilitate mutual understanding.
• Analyst can easily observe nonverbal communication channels such as body language and facial expressions.
• The interview process is time-consuming
and resource intensive.• Interview success is highly dependent on
the communication skills of the analyst.• Geographical location of the necessary
respondents may make the interview process impractical.

Open vs. Closed Questions
Open-ended questions Closed-ended questions
Advantages
Increase opportunity forspontaneity.
Are generally easier tophrase.
Allow the analyst to useterms and vocabularysimilar to those used by therespondent.
Allow for increasedrichness in detail ofresponse.
Increase opportunities toexplore additional subjectareas.
Are generally moreinteresting to therespondent and place themmore at ease.
Significantly decrease thetime necessary to obtainrequired facts andconfirmations.
Allow for increased controlover the interview process.
Allow for ease of comparisonof responses across multipleinterview sessions.
Leave the impression of aclear set of objectives for theinterview.

Open-ended questions Closed-ended questions
Disadvantages
Can result in responsescontaining irrelevantdetail.
May leave impression thatanalyst is ill-prepared.
Can result in loss ofcontrol of the interviewprocess.
May unnecessarilyincrease the timenecessary to gain usefulinformation due to lengthyresponses.
Can leave the impressionthat the analyst is on a“fishing expedition” andhas no specific objective.
Can be boring for therespondent.
Tend to reduce rapportbetween the analyst andthe respondent.
Minimize richness in detailof response.
Can allow analyst tooverlook or miss importantconcepts or ideas.

Questionnaires
Advantages Disadvantages
• Questionnaires can often be answered in less time.
• Respondents can answer questions at their convenience.
• Responses can be easily tabulated and analyzed.
• Questionnaires allow for respondents to maintain anonymity.
• Response rate is often low.• Questionnaires allow for less
flexibility than other, more direct methods.
• No guarantee exists that respondent will answer all questions posed.
• No direct observation of the respondent can be conducted during questioning.
• Questionnaires are often time-consuming and difficult to prepare.
• No opportunity to clarify points or expand on topics covered.

Choosing the Appropriate Scale
Scale Type General Application
Nominal Classification without need for ranking
Ordinal Classification with ranking but without need for equal intervals between ranks
Interval Degree of presence of phenomena using equal intervals without need for absolute zero
Ratio Degree of presence or absence of a phenomena
