Chapter 6 Requirements Validations and Verifications
What Is Requirements Risk Management?
Poor requirements engineering practices have led to some spectacular failures. Bahill and Henderson (2005) analyzed several high-profile projects to determine if their failure was due to poor requirements development, requirements verification, or system validation. Their findings confirmed that some of the most notorious system failures were due to poor requirements engineering. For example, the HMS Titanic (1912), the IBM PCjr (1983), and the Mars Climate Orbiter (1999) suffered from poor requirements design. The Apollo 13 (1970), Space Shuttle Challenger (1986), and Space Shuttle Columbia (2002) projects failed because ...
