Structure of your RS (page 139) n Information Technology n n n n Preface formalities Introduction (the "strategic objective" of the system is to satisfy the teacher of Methods of Programming) Glossary System Requirements Specification. This is the core of your work. System models. Draw a small data-flow model. System evolution. Here you are allowed to speculate about possible extensions. Don't make too much of this. Appendices. Probably not needed. The overview of the mathematics of ray-tracing and perhaps the PPM and XML formats would otherwise go here. Index. 3 25 January, 2007

Limitations and Testability Information Technology n n n We know that no system is supposed to handle infinitely many items How many shall we test? Requirements sets an under limit or an input domain, e. g. , x in [0. . 1000] Specify exact what shall happen in case of exception, e. g. , if x not in [0. . 1000] an error message “the value of x is not in the input domain” shall be printed. Border values are interesting for testing … 6 25 January, 2007
