Phew. That's a long one. From this definition, however, it does appear that systems engineering can be considered a problem analysis technique, albeit one that we can't hope to fully cover in a book on software requirements management! ) Within the scope of this book, however, systems engineering can help us understand the needs of the problem space and the requirements that are to be imposed on the solution. In this context, systems engineering helps us understand the requirements that are going to be imposed on any software applications that run within the solution system.
Know the problem, know the customer, and know the consumer. Use effectiveness criteria based on needs to make the system decisions. Establish and manage requirements. Identify and assess alternatives so as to converge on a solution. Verify and validate requirements and solution performance. Maintain the integrity of the system. Use an articulated and documented process. Manage against a plan. This list identifies some pragmatic systems engineering principles. In point of fact, however, a subset of the systems engineering discipline is based on another process, the successive decomposition of complex systems into simpler ones.
One result of this, which was further compounded by the simple single-user nature of the tools we used and the more limited size of the applications we developed, was the tendency toward software development as an individual activity. The programmer defined, designed, wrote, and, typically, tested his or her own work. Perhaps testers were around to help with the heavy lifting at the end, but the focus clearly was on individual activity. The programmer as hero was the common paradigm.
