IREB Requirements Engineering Fundamentals

With Requirements Engineering Fundamentals, you are holding the official text book of the Certified Professional for Requirements Engineering (CPRE) – Foundation Level certification in your hands. The 2nd edition of this book is aligned with the curriculum (version 2.2) of the International Requirements Engineering Board e.V. (IREB) and the IREB glossary. In addition, some minor defects of the 1st edition have been corrected. A short introduction to the IREB and the certification process can be found in the previous section “The Certified Professional for Requirements Engineering (CPRE) Exam”.

The aim of this book is to aid you in your preparation for the certification examination of the Certified Professional for Requirements Engineering. The book is suited for your individual preparation for the examination as well as for companion literature to training courses offered by training providers. In addition to the book, you should consider the information about the preparation for the certification examination published on the IREB website (http://www.ireb.org/en). That additional information reflects updates of the curriculum (after version 2.2) and potentially amends this book with respect to some areas of interest. Errata to this book are published on the IREB website.

Our decision to author this book collaboratively was not unjustified. The book at hand is meant to integrate long-lasting practical experiences with educational and research knowledge concerning the topic of requirements engineering, in particular for the Foundation Level of the Certified Professional for Requirements Engineering. As a consequence, this book is based on the two best-selling books in the German language about requirements engineering by the two main authors: Klaus Pohl: Requirements Engineering – Grundlagen, Prinzipien, Techniken.

Published at dpunkt.verlag, Heidelberg, 2008. This book was written from a perspective of research and education and offers a structured discussion of the fundamentals, principles, and techniques of requirements engineering. (Also available in English: Requirements Engineering – Fundamentals, Principles, and Techniques. Springer, New York, 2010) Chris Rupp: Requirements-Engineering und -Management – Aus der Praxis von klassisch bis agil. Published at Hanser Fachbuchverlag, Munich, 2014. This book contains application-oriented knowledge about requirements engineering, which supports the requirements engineer in his or her daily practice. (Individual chapters also available in English on the SOPHIST website: http://www.sophist.de)
