Defining System and Context Boundaries

4 important questions on Defining System and Context Boundaries

Resolving the gray zone

  • System boundary may shift withinthe gray zone.
  • Gray zone itself may shift during the RE process.
  • Shifting occurs when aspects pertaining at first to the system context gets modified during system development.
  • Gray zone between the system and the system context must be resolved.
  • Gray zone between the system context and the irrelevant environment need not be resolved entire.

Gray zone in system boundary

  • It is hard to define system boundary until the end of the requirements engineering process.
  • Functions, interfaces and qualities are only unknown or partially known in the beginnin.

Name interfaces of the system with its environment?

Sources: provide inputs for the system
Sinks: receive outputs from the systm

What is a grey zone? (System Context )

The Grey zone separates the system context from parts of reality (environment) that are irrelevant to the system, a complete definition of the context boundary for coplex systems is virtually impossible.

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
