Topic
Kristina Fuerst and Casey Medina will present a discussion based on two papers published at IS2015. The papers cover requirements development and the "V" model in the context of medical devices. The processes and procedures described are applicable across industries and describe a structured, requirements engineering process for individuals, corporate cultures, and industries that are not familiar with requirements engineering best practices. These processes were implemented by the authors in the product development process of a medical device manufacturer and are presented as an example of the implementation of the requirements engineering process using a sample project.
