T4	Requirements Testing and Verification
Joe Elledge, SQS

A tutorial reviewing the need for and benefits of measuring and improving the quality of the Requirements documentation. In particular the workshop focuses on methods for involving the testers in that process. The objective of the seminar is to investigate methods of involving testers in requirements testing as an al-ternative to establishing a formal reviews process. This may be appropriate in circumstances where reviews are not practical or for some reason cannot currently be established. The workshop investigates Early Test Case Design, formal Reading Techniques and Requirements Testing processes focusing on practical exercises with the techniques rather than a presentation based discussion.
