Book: Software Engineering. Ian Sommerville. 10th edition

Chapter 2 Questions -- 10 points each (50 points total) Suggest why it is important to make a distinction between developing the user requirements and developing system requirements in the requirements engineering process. Using an example, explain why the design activities of architectural design, database design, interface design, and component design are interdependent. Explain why software testing should always be an incremental, staged activity. Are programmers the best people to test the programs that they have developed? Explain why change is inevitable in complex systems and give examples (apart from prototyping and incremental delivery) of software process activities that can help predict possible changes and make the software being developed more resilient to change. 5. Consider the integration and configuration process model shown in Figure 2.3. Explain why it is essential to repeat the requirements engineering activity in the process.
