Abstract
Good requirements have several useful properties, such as being consistent, necessary, and unambiguous. Another essential characteristic that is almost always listed is that ‘requirements should be complete.’ But just what does completeness mean, and how should you ensure that your requirements are complete? In this column, we will begin to address these two questions by looking at (1) the importance of requirements completeness, (2) the completeness of requirements models, (3) the completeness of various types of individual requirements, and (4) the completeness of requirements metadata. In next issue’s column, we will continue by addressing (5) the completeness of requirements repositories, (6) the completeness of requirements documents derived from such repositories of requirements, (7) the completeness of sets of requirements documents, (8) the completeness of requirements baselines, and finally (9) determining how complete is complete enough when using an incremental and iterative development cycle.
