True or False: Structured analysis methods are a complete solution to requirements engineering and cover all aspects of the RE process.
Correct Answer
False
Explanation
Although structured methods have a role in the RE process, there is much more to requirements engineering than is covered by these methods. Requirements elicitation in particular is a human-centered activity, and people dislike the constraints imposed on them by rigid system models. Structured methods are just one tool within the broader RE process.
