Identify relevant concepts in the environment
Identify those concepts in the environment that might have an impact on the system. Examples include weather,
infrastructure the system uses, legislation, etc. If these concepts have relations, model these relations. Detail how each
of the concepts influences the system. Identify and document the assumptions that have to be made about the concepts in the
environment. |
Identify risks for the system in the environment
The behaviour of the concepts in the environment can pose risks to the functionality or performance of the system under
construction. Identify those risks and detail them. A Risk List can be a valuable tool for this task.
