Hi All:
recently,I met a new term that is requirement engineering,I havn't known it before .so maybe I can find some good ideas here ,Pls elaborate on it if you know something about it

Thank you all follower

I did a quick google, and came up with a bunch of hits, the first being:
Requirements_analysis

I did not do a lot of research, but it appears that requirements engineering and anaylis of requirements are interchangeable ways of saying:
"requirements analysis encompasses those tasks that go into determining the needs or conditions to meet for a new or altered product"

Thanks ,Frankly speaking ,I did a search before but did not find some useful information .
I found an interesting thing is that there is a book named <requirement engineering> but I can't download it for not paying for it .

Most of us are quality man,so we should be guided to direction of quality management system when cogitate upon the term.

Requirements engineering is a process in which the requirements of the product are managed during it´s lifecycle. It was used for some time in the software lifecycle, but has evolved to other areas.There are some good books on the subject.

Quoting an answer i postd in another thread (1. Hardware Life Cycle; 2. Requirements tracking; 3. FMEA Risk Analysis (http://elsmar.com/Forums/showthread.php?t=28329))

You need to implement a requirements engineering process that controls all requirements related to the device in the device lifecycle. Suggest reading a requirements engineering book such as The Requirements Engineering Handbook from Ralph Young (take a look at some examples in his website to understand what i´m saying http://www.ralphyoung.net/artifacts.html). What you´re talking about dividing requirements is what is called requirements decomposition, and is in fact usually related to reliability requirements in what is known as reliability decomposition or reliability block diagram (you DO have reliability requirements in the reliability program of your device, don´t you? :-)). So you could also take a look at some reliability information such as Medical Device Reliability and Associated Areas by B.S. Dhillon or the second part of the book Practical Design Control Implementation for Medical Devices by Jose Justiniano (also any book or paper from Richard Fries is a must as he is a medical device reliability expert).

There are regular conferences on Requirements-Engineering. Here is the link:

Thank you all of you,I got some useful information .
Luckly, I'll get a basic training next month ,The trainer is from Germany,Maybe he know sth. detail about this topic.

Sounds good Larry. A good basic training will put you in the picture, thereafter you may gain further knowledge through books & magzines. Good luck.
