Analyst at IGS Writes Book on Requirements Documentation.BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 14, 1999-- Benjamin L. Kovitz, a system analyst with Information + Graphics Systems, Inc. (IGS IGS - Internet Go Server. ), has written a book on requirements documentation titled "Practical Software Requirements: A Manual of Content and Style." Building upon the theoretical work of Michael Jackson Noun 1. Michael Jackson - United States singer who began singing with his four brothers and later became a highly successful star during the 1980s (born in 1958) Michael Joe Jackson, Jackson , the book focuses requirements documents on a single, practical goal: giving programmers, UI designers, testers, and technical writers the information they need to do their jobs, and presenting it in a form that the customer can verify. Rather than propounding any single methodology, the book examines a variety of problems that software solves, spelling out different information needed to define different problem types. Kovitz shows how to recognize different problem types solved by a software system and document each one separately, systematically, and completely. The many real-life examples in the book draw heavily on practical experience at IGS. The last two chapters include an actual requirements document from a project at IGS, together with excerpts from the user-interface design document.
