This book presents a set of guidelines which are aimed at practitioners who want to improve their requirements engineering processes. It has been developed after a number of years experience working with industry on requirements engineering process improvement. We found that a lot of improvements involved simple practices which organisations were unaware of or which they didn't know how to introduce. We therefore decided to develop this good practice guide to help those involved with requirements engineering to improve the way in which they work.
The book presents about 100 guidelines which vary from the very simple, such as "make sure that your requirements are given a unique identifier", to the very complex e.g. "use formal specification for critical sysems". The book also includes three chapters which provide more detailed advice on system modelling, formal methods for specification and viewpoint-oriented requirements elicitation. You can see the form of the guidelines from the examples here. You can also access the preface of the book and a complete list of contents. You can also read an on-line review.
