Software Engineering

Chapter 11: Functional Analysis and Allocation Practice.
 This chapter iden-
tifies the specific tasks that must be considered to ensure that a complete, con-
sistent, and traceable functional architecture is fashioned. Analysis is performed 
to understand the operational and software product behaviors by examining, 
decomposing, classifying, and specifying the top-level functions derived from 
requirement specifications. Performance requirements are allocated among con-
tributing functions to establish measures of effectiveness and performance for 
lower-level functional elements.
