<p class="MsoNormal">Actually. I was saying the <b>opposite</b>: VCE IT <i>should</i> follow the natural processes of the real world. <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Real SRS documents do <i>not</i> describe current/old systems, so a <i>VCE SRS should not do it either</i>.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Also, people are still assuming that analysis must be of an existing system. Why?<br>
Please - anyone - provide <i>any </i>evidence that 'analysis' must be of an <i>existing</i> system. <o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I maintain that SRS analysis involves the study of the requirements of the system to be developed. <o:p></o:p></p>

<i>forensic</i> analysis of hairs under a microscope?)<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">'Analysis' refers to the separation of an item into its constituent parts for study.<br>
This is done for a <i>proposed</i> system when the entire problem is broken down into its parts, and its requirements are thereby identified.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also, where is any evidence for the other side of the argument?
<br>
I have provided several examples from exams and the real world that indicate that SRS diagrams illustrate the
<i>new</i> system. <o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Where is the contrary evidence? <o:p></o:p></p>
