What you could do though
is think about a survey. In this case, you ??™ d have to weigh the costs against the benefi
ts. Again, there may be a suitable substitute, e.g., the marketing department of
SpeedyCar; they should know their customers ??™ wishes and expectations.
Requirements won ??™ t just fall into your lap as you conduct interviews or workshops,
or browse documents for requirements. I will briefl y introduce a few techniques
you can use to check natural language for information.
Words like easier , better , simpler , faster should have a signaling effect on you.
They can be examined more closely by asking the following questions:
?–  What does the comparative or superlative refer to? What is the point of
reference?
?–  Which measuring method can be used to check the required feature?
?–  Which unit is meant, e.g., second, minute, or hour? What tolerances are
permitted?
Ask yourself these questions. The answers are important for your requirements.
Pay attention to generalized terms like never , always , ever , everybody , all .
