>Imagine that a software engineer, who concluded recently his degree at a given university, is leading a requirements engineering team for a project to improve the software application that permits students to enroll and register in degrees offered by that university. Which of the following requirements elicitation techniques are adequate for capturing the typical and atypical activities involved in the use of the application?
>For the system indicated in the previous question, during the requirements elicitation process, some students were interviewed. They have indicated the functionalities that they would like to see incorporated in the final solution. Afterwards, the client has requested to remove some of the requirements proposed by the students. Which of the following arguments is the less strong for justify the removal of those requirements?

>2. The requirements from the students are ambiguous and cannot be tested.
>3. The requirements from the students are contrary to the interests of the client.
>4. The client does not consider the students as system stakeholders.
>Suppose that the analysts of a software product project have a reduced knowledge about the respective domain. Which requirements elicitation techniques are the most appropriate in that case?
>>When the prototypes are handled by the users under the observation of the analyst, the combination of these two techniques has the potential to provide mush richer requirements, in relation both to the business process and the user needs.

>>[!hint] Resolution
>>Question 1 assumes that the asked individual has a preference. This assumption might be false.
>>Question 2 is ambiguous.
>>Question 3 offers only closed answers.
>>Question 4 is (oddly) specific and won't produce great responses. Plus these are two questions masked as one.
