The fourth edition of "Requirements Engineering for Software and Systems" is a comprehensive textbook that covers the theoretical and practical aspects of discovering, analyzing, modeling, validating, testing, and writing requirements for systems of all kinds, with a focus on software-intensive systems. It brings into play a variety of formal methods, social models, and modern requirements writing techniques to be useful to practicing engineers. The book has been updated and improved based on feedback from instructors, students, and corporate users, and includes two newly added chapters on non-functional requirements and requirements engineering. It also has expanded discussions on new elicitation techniques, agile approaches, requirements tools, requirements representation, risk management approaches, and functional size measurement methods. Additionally, the book includes vignettes, exercises, and references, as well as scannable QR codes linked to sites containing updates, tools, videos, and discussion forums to keep readers current with the dynamic field of requirements engineering.

The importance of solid requirements engineering has grown significantly in recent years,as it has become recognized as a crucial factor in ensuring the successful and timely delivery of software and systems projects. In response to this need,new software tools are emerging that empower practicing engineers to enhance their requirements engineering practices. However,these tools often require significant training to be effectively utilized.

Requirements Engineering for Software and Systems,Fourth Edition,is a comprehensive textbook that aims to provide a thorough treatment of the theoretical and practical aspects of discovering, analyzing, modeling, validating, testing, and writing requirements for systems of all kinds, with a particular emphasis on software-intensive systems. The book brings together a diverse range of formal methods, social models, and modern requirements writing techniques to serve as valuable resources for practicing engineers.

Since the first edition, this textbook has undergone numerous changes and improvements, driven by feedback from instructors, students, and corporate users. The fourth edition introduces two new chapters: "On Non-Functional Requirements" and "Requirements Engineering: Road Map to the Future." The latter chapter explores the relationship between requirements engineering and emerging and disruptive technologies such as the Internet of Things, Cloud Computing, Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, and Affective Computing.

To ensure that the book remains relevant to current industrial practices, all chapters have been extensively expanded with new materials. Readers will find expanded discussions on new elicitation techniques, agile approaches (such as Kanpan, SAFe, and DEVOps), and the importance of requirements management in software development.

In conclusion, Requirements Engineering for Software and Systems,Fourth Edition,is a valuable resource for professional software engineers, systems engineers, and senior and graduate students of software or systems engineering. Its comprehensive coverage of theoretical and practical aspects, coupled with the use of modern tools and techniques, makes it an essential tool for anyone involved in software and systems development.
