Requirements Engineering: Setting the Context

This chapter presents a brief overview of requirements engineering and provides an introduction to some of the critical aspects of this field. This includes offering and understanding of the different levels of requirements involved in requirements engineering, namely organizational, product and project level requirements, and illustrating the role of different stakeholders in requirements engineering. The chapter also aims to demonstrate how the three parts of this book are interrelated.
