Abstract :
These requirements were often enough for the architects to design the application. But now, technological advances mean that such requirement statements are just not enough. Mobile devices change everything. Suddenly a simple system requirement on a mobile application to support navigation, such as the application shall display a local street map at all times is rendered ambiguous and incomplete by the mobility of the device running the application.
