Requirements provide the foundation for all forthcoming systems development. As development efforts increase in complexity and decrease in time, the need for detailed and correct requirements and  specifications is critical. From determining what a client wants through systems design, development and testing, the more complete the requirements, the lower the development costs. With its critical nature, the use of modeling techniques and tools allows for the development community to see how the system may work earlier in the development cycle, thus lessening future rework and lowering costs. Modeling and Rapid Prototyping requires not only the gathering and analyzing of requirements but also how the system will meet them. This needs both general knowledge of the problem domain and experience in real-time embedded software development.

By using its extensive background in designing and developing real-time embedded software within a wide range of industries and applications, DDI brings those skills necessary to insuring that modeling and prototyping will allow for an effective, efficient analysis and development effort. Effectiveness of modeling is not limited to just its execution but how they are constructed and understood by those impacted by the development effort. Models and prototypes are directed toward the 2 key groups, Client and Software Engineering, insuring that what they do (Client) and how they do it (Software Engineering) is understood and agreed early in the development cycle. This involves:

·   Working with the Client, Hardware and Software Engineering to partition and detail requirements

·   Documenting requirements using various text, Use Cases, graphical and modeling techniques

·   Analyzing and specifying I/O and system interfaces

·   Performing partitioning of software requirements into functional blocks

·   Factoring offshore/outsourcing opportunities

·   Analyzing current software development methodologies and processes for best possible partitioning

·   Reviewing previous projects for component design and code reuse

·   Evaluating autocode requirements and opportunities

·   Evaluating requirements for required development tools

Experience:

·   Extensive hands-on project management and software development experience

·   Trained and practiced as an ISO-9000 auditor

·   Experienced working with clients in a wide variety of industrial development efforts

·   Experienced working with offshore software engineering vendors

·   Extensive Requirements Engineering experience using various text, Use Cases, graphical and modeling techniques

·   Experienced in evaluating and using a wide variety of development tools

Benefits of Using DDI:

·   Auditing background allows for more thorough software development process analysis

·   Extensive development background allows for improved technical analysis

·   Project Management experience will improve planning and cost analysis

·   Extensive development experience allows for bridging the gap between clients and software engineering
