Requirement analysis is referred to as the determination of relevant needs, conditions and limitations which have to be considered in order to achieve a specific business goal (e.g. the production of a new article or the provision of a new service) and the identification of conflicts among the resulting requirements.

(domain independent)
In the Requirements Analysis the goals are decomposed in sub-goals and the best strategies to satisfy each goal are individuated; this activity produces a set of functional requirements that will be validated to check potential conflicts among the requirements (Requirement Validation). [CD-JRA-1.1.2] 

Requirements Analysis  is concerned with the process of analyzing requirements to [SWEBOK]:

  • Detect and resolve conflicts between requirements
  • Discover the bounds of the software and how it must interact with its environment
  • Elaborate system requirements to derive software requirements
