When we receive a request for a new software project

from the customer, first of all, we would like to understand the
requirements of the project.
Requirement analysis is very important and essential
activity we analyses refine the gathered requirements in order
to make consistent and unambiguous requirements.
In spite of understanding the project we would also
analyse whether it is feasible in terms of cost, technical and
market. If it is not feasible in any term it will not be fruitful to
develop such a project.
Initially it should also be analysed whether the
requirements for the project(hardware and software) are
affordable or feasible.
So before preceding further to the design issues here we
will discuss in somewhat detail the requirement analysis and
the feasibility study of the project.
Here we have dealt with the requirement analysis and the
feasibility study which gives the better understanding of the
project.
