Obstacles to the flow of requirements verification

Alan B. Marchant

Systems Engineering, 2010, vol. 13, issue 1, 1-13

Abstract: The process of developing technical requirements and subsequently documenting adherence to those requirements is a primary task for Systems Engineering. Disciplined validation and verification of requirements helps assure that the product system will be successful as designed and gives the program a fighting chance to achieve its goals. But commitment and adherence to a process of thorough validation and verification is not always sufficient. Unforeseen technical constraints and logical inconsistencies often spring up at the last minute to block requirements verification for complex systems. By recognizing weaknesses in the structure and definition of requirements that are likely to interfere with the verification flow, the systems engineer can create a more manageable hierarchy of requirements and more effectively redirect the verification process when difficulties arise. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
