A Proposed User Requirements Document for Children’s Learning Application

Abstract

User requirements are the highest level of requirements. Flawed user requirements document can cause defects in the software being built-aspects of applications that were not presented in the user requirements document to cause a defect. In learning applications for children, there are aspects of pedagogy that need to be well documented. This aspect is not available in the general user requirements document, so it is often not well presented. The learning style and thinking skills level is crucial to be well presented in the user requirements document. That was because the children's persona cannot be compared at every range criteria of developmental age. That factor will undoubtedly affect the specifications of the software to be built. Users' viewpoints about different requirements can also make developers wrong in determining requirements. Applying requirements prioritization in the user requirements document can help resolve the problem. Measurement of document quality was also performed using parameters in measuring the quality of the user requirements document. The results of measuring the quality of the user requirements document found that it is reliable for use.
