In practice requirements engineering tasks have become increasingly complex. In order to
ensure a high level of knowledge and competency among requirements engineers the International
Requirements Engineering Board (IREB) developed a standardized qualification called the
Certified Professional for Requirements Engineering (CPRE). The certification defines the
practical skills of a requirements engineer on various training levels. This book is designed
for self-study and covers the curriculum for the Certified Professional for Requirements
Engineering Foundation Level exam as defined by the IREB. The 2nd edition has been thoroughly
revised and is aligned with the curriculum Version 2.2 of the IREB. In addition some minor
corrections to the 1st edition have been included. About IREB: The mission of the IREB is to
contribute to the standardization of further education in the fields of business analysis and
requirements engineering by providing syllabi and examinations thereby achieving a higher
level of applied requirements engineering. The IREB is comprised of a balanced mix of
independent internationally recognized experts in the fields of economy consulting research
and science. The IREB is a non-profit corporation. For more information visit
