Hi,
I have come mainly from a Development background.
I have now to get involved in some Requirements Gathering / Analysis.
My Customer is going to give me a brief Requirements document of what they
want.
I am then going to write a Functional Specification document and get him to
sign this off. This Functional Spec will detail how the system will work from
a business point of view.
Once the functional spec is signed off we then start development.
Am I approaching this in the correct way?
Thanks in Advance.

Sure, don't be surprised though if the customer then doesn't realize
something, and want something changed. Or if your document misses one of the
'exception' cases or neglects to figure out what happens if there is a
certain combination of conditions, etc.
Basically, this might be a general spec, but it's all the little details
that end up coming that always require going back and forth to settle those.
But in general, the more thought out the requirements are, the smoother it
will go. And from my experience customers are generally not capable of
providing that, so a lot of it will be up to you.

Hi,
I am working on a computational program that has to read a number of
parameters (~50) from an input file. The program contains a single class
hierarchy with about a dozen member-classes or inherited classes, each of
which needs some subset of those input parameters. The classes may
individually perform some input validation, and even determine which
parameters are to be read next. Currently, each class performs its own

Hello:
I know that hardware requirements are dependent upon many factors.
However I need a sanity check on this configuration.
First the purpose of the database.
- database will be used to support a risk analysis group in a small
financial firm.
- there will be daily "bulk" loads to the database
- as well as updates via GUIs (JSP or java programs)

Hi Folks
I am an old codger who has much experience with computers
in the distant past before all this object oriented stuff.
Also I have loads of software in such languages as FORTRAN
and BASIC, QBASIC etc that is very useful except that it
really doesn't like to run on modern operating systems and
has hopeless graphics resolution and lack of ease of use in
some ways.

A project I'm thinking about, could use some advice from those who
understand the dimensional limits of an SQL-like DB.
Imagine, for example, a database containing detailed data for many
cities during thunderstorms. Each time there is a storm, data
collection begins, gathering "rain-drops-per millisecond" maybe 5 times
per second (don't worry about the sanity of this, its just an analogy).
The logistical data is no concern for me...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
