This Month’s Article:

Security Requirements Engineering:
A Road Map

Rudolph Araujo , Software Mag.com, July 2007

 

For the last two decades, software security became more and more crucial. Who is in charge of defining the security requirements? When it should be written during the product development lifecycle? Learn how to identify the drivers for security requirements (regulations, standards, policies and more) and how is your application being impact by this drivers.

“The challenge, however, as mentioned above, is that most organizations we work with are used to thinking solely about functional requirements—requirements that the system and business analysts writing them can put their arms around. (For instance: Should the application have this particular widget, or that one? And how should it respond to the click of a button in the top right corner?) The non-functional requirements, on the other hand, are often marked as “N/A.” Our findings have been that this is not necessarily because they are considered unimportant, but rather because they are assumed to be de facto requirements—“the developers should know better than to build a slow or insecure or unreliable system.” The assumption always seems to be that these requirements are obvious and hence don’t need to be documented.”
