Question No. 1 (10+10+5 =25 marks)

We intend to develop a software product for the agriculture domain; our focal point is to
maximize the yield per acre but monitoring the inflow of raw material used in the
production of different agricultural product. Our main focus is to find out the cost per
field which includes cost of human resource, cost of transport (fuel), pesticides used to
spray the field and other miscellaneous expenses like electricity etc. We need to design a
system which should cater for the need of the farm and should give a very transparent
view to the owner of the farm about daily cost per field. Usually plots are divided into
fields and human resource is allocated to the plot instead of field and same is the case
with transport and pesticide which is creating a major bottleneck to capture the required
information. There is a supervisor for a plot and under supervisor there are multiple
assistants to whom multiple fields within a plot are allocated. The process of data
capturing starts early in the day when human resource is distributed per field and record
is maintained in the head office; tractors are used to transport the human resource to the
plots and from plot human resource are divided into per field. Pesticides are allocated on
daily for each plot and same process is opted to distribute the pesticide as used in
distribution of human resource. In addition to it; record of issuance of pesticide is
maintained by the store keeper and supervisor is responsible for the utilization of the
pesticide. When the product at the field is ready for selling, the process of collection of
the product takes place, during this process the waste product record and actual product
record per plot is maintained on daily basis during the days of collection. The actual
production is transported to the packing house where the product is packed and ready for
transfer to the market for selling. Currently cost per plot is calculated but cost per field is
not calculated or we can say that the current process does not enable the owner of the
land to calculate the cost per field.

Based on the above scenario you are required to identify

1. Functional requirements
2. Non-functional requirements
3. Actors and stakeholders

Question No. 2 (10+10+5=25 marks)

Read the research paper entitled “An Effective Requirement Engineering Process
Model for Software Development and Requirements Management” and answer the
following questions:

1) How can you produce the quality requirements according to the given paper?
2) Why requirement management and planning phase is executed independently?
3) Write the critical review of this paper.
