TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I have a new assignment at my job. I am working for a newly formed QA group and I will become the Requirements writer. The Requirements will be formed through a process of a "Compact Requirements Document" (for which I will be developing a template) filled out by the Business Analyst and the user. This will be reviewed (if time allows) by QA, then it will form the input for a JAD session. From the JAD session I will complete a more detailed Requirements Document and that will be used by the testers for Test Plans/Cases.
Do you have any experiences or insight you feel you could share to illuminate me? Any resources about Requirements gathering or writing -- websites and/or books?
Note: I have written Requirements before, but my main audience was developers, not testers. I have been reading the article on the Raycomm site, and do have some templates available including some I've created. I'm looking specifically for the QA/test angle, but also will be glad to hear any other related info just for the learning value!
Thanks,
Rosie
