Software requirement workshops and outcomes: Experienced from software requirement analysis course for undergraduate

Abstract

Software requirement is the first part of software engineering life cycle and is the primary success factor for a software acceptance. To transfer requirement analysis skill to undergraduate students who have never gain experience in this field is hard. To help students improve the ability of elicitation requirement from all stakeholders and be able to write a qualitative software requirement specification, a lot of active learning and project based learning activities are handled. Collaborative work among students, reflection from lecturers, and inspiration from industry are also used to help students in better understanding. In this work, we provide our activities in the class of Software Requirement Analysis at Chiang Mai University. Operational details, materials used, and the reflection of each activity are also stated with expectations that all lecturers can adapt these activities in their class.
