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.
