Software Requirements and Specification (CSE 563) at ASU

I taught  Software Requirements and Specification(CSE 563) at Arizona State University for two years – Fall 2022, Spring 2022, and Fall 2021.

The overarching aim of this course is to understand, develop, and evaluate requirements and specifications for software-based systems. Semi-formal and formal modeling methods are essential for building today’s and future complex and scalable software-based systems. Frameworks and tools are becoming crucial artifacts in software requirements documentation and specification. To this end, course projects will be used as enablers to gain hands-on experience with requirement engineering methods, frameworks, and tools.
