A simple description of requirements definition
would be: Understanding what you want from a system, before you
create it.
The concept of creating abstract plans before
building a house is commonly understood and accepted. Despite this
many software systems are still built without the
requirements being properly understood. This often results in
software that is difficult to use, fall short of expectations and
are expensive due to extensive rework.
Systems may have from dozens to thousands of
requirements. The process whereby requirements are gathered,
defined and described can be very simple, or very complex,
based on the system under investigation.
The UML is a visual modelling language designed
for the capture and documentation of system requirements in an easy
to understand, yet powerful descriptive
definitions.
