Concerns

• During the requirements capture and analysis process, it is likely that problems will be found • Requirements are not clear or complete • Requirements may contradict each other • Requirements may be over or under specified • It is highly desirable to have a mechanism to capture these concerns, as well as the subsequent resolution of the concerns and supporting documentation • This is accomplished using the Concern class
