Requirements Engineering: Specifications, Interfaces and Testable Requirements
Unclear requirements are the most common cause of project delays and rework. I create structured business specifications, interface documentation, and testable requirements - so that development, testing, and compliance work from a shared foundation.
When to Engage
- Requirements are unclear, contradictory, or not formulated in testable terms
- Interfaces between systems or organizational units are not specified
- Regulatory requirements need to be translated into actionable specifications
- Business specifications are missing, outdated, or no longer traceable
Deliverables
Working Approach & Quality Assurance
Structured Elicitation: Requirements are systematically gathered - from interviews, workshops, document analysis, and system reviews.
Review Process: Every specification goes through a defined review cycle with business, development, and - where applicable - compliance.
Traceability: Every requirement is traceable - from the business requirement through design to the test case and sign-off.
Regulatory & Audit Alignment
Requirements engineering in regulated environments demands particular traceability. I ensure that:
- Regulatory requirements are clearly identified and traceable
- Business specifications meet internal quality and compliance standards
- Testability and acceptance criteria are documented in audit-ready format
Project contexts are anonymized. Roles and results are truthful; details available under NDA.
