Requirements engineering is a robust methodology for the development of requirements. It is made up of three key concepts.
## 1.1 Discovery
This is where you identify all the requirments of the system. [requirements-elicitation](notes/requirements-elicitation.md) is done here. Many techniques such as [interviewing](notes/interviewing.md), [participant-observation](notes/participant-observation.md), [prototyping](notes/prototyping.md), and more are used here.
## 1.2 Documenting
This is where the requirements are specified and refined, and models are created. All the requirements are compiled into a [requirements document](notes/requirements-document)
## 1.3 Maintenance
This occurs throughout development and is primarly focuses on manageing changes in the environment of the system
