2. 2 MARK QUSTION
1.What is system-as-is and system-to-be?
• System-as-is: system as it exists before the machine is built into it
• System-to-be: system as it should be when the machine will operate into it
2.Draw the dimensions of requirement engineering.

3. 3.Give an example for the descriptive and prescriptive statements.
• If train doors are closed, they are not open”
• Descriptive :“If the train’s acceleration is positive, its speed is non-null”
• Prescriptive Statements :“Doors shall always remain closed when the
train is moving”
4.How you will relate the software requirements to system requirements?

4. 5.What are the benefits of requirements taxonomies?
• Quality of service
• Usability
• Scalability
• Architectural constraint
• Development constraint
6.Bring out the aim of domain understanding.
• To make sure that a software solution correctly solves a particular
problem, we must first correctly understand and define what problem
needs to be solved.

5. 7.Give your ideas to increase the effectiveness of interviews.
 Identify the right interviewee sample for full coverage of Issues
 Come prepared, to focus on right issue at right time
 – backgound study first
 – predesign a sequence of questions
 Keep control over the interview
 Make the interviewee feel comfortable
 – Start: break ice, provide motivation, ask easy questions
 – Consider the person too, not only the role
 – Do always appear as a trustworthy partner

6. 8.Define fault trees.
• Fault tree analysis (FTA) is a top down, deductive failure analysis in
which an undesired state of a system is analyzed using Boolean logic to
combine a series of lower-level events.
9.Define frame diagram and its phenomenon.
• A frame diagram is a generic problem diagram capturing a problem pattern
Called a frame.
• The interface labels are now typed parameters, they are fixed by ‘C’ , ‘E’
or ‘Y’ depending on whether they are to be instantiated to causal ,event or
symbolic phenomena respectively.

7. 10.What is casual and biddable component?
• A causal component ,marked by a ‘C’ has some internal causality that
can be enforced .
• A biddable component, marked by a ‘B’,has no such enforceable
causality.
