During
testing, Gramma played the game for 172 hours causing her to lose
vision in her right eye. The retina scorching light level
shrunk Grammas eye to the size of a freeze-dried pea. The light intensity levels
triggered a rapid fire growth reaction (commonly known as RFGR) causing Grammas
undetected cataract to spread and swallow her eyeball. If proper research was done on the effects of light intensity on
vision, a Requirement for a light intensity limit could have been implemented. Forming requirements for a system is a necessity in
Systems Engineering. Grammas horrible tragedy could have been
prevented if the company had used Systems Engineering Methods.
Portly
Stewart Wieners tummy rumbled as the 4:00 hour approached. He knew it was a bad idea
to skip lunch, but he couldnt stop playing the game. He remembered a package of Little Debbie Ding Dongs that his mom had packed for him earlier that year.
As his hunger grew he simply gave in. Savagely ripping into the Ding Dongs, he
shoved one down his throat. The complexity of the helmet he wore caused the stale Ding
Dong to become lodged in his throat, causing all airways to be blocked. Stewart gasped for
air as he fell hard on the testing room floor. His 262 pound body slapping the floor woke
Gramma up in the room next door. She sprinted over only to find Stewart face down with
half a Ding Dong sticking out of his helmet. Immediately she referred to her first aid and
CPR training, with one swift trust upward Gramma dislodged the Ding Dong and removed his
helmet. Stewart was grateful and thanked Gramma profusely. She then swiped the second
stale Ding Dong and returned to her office. Strangely enough Gramma started eating Ding
Dongs regularly.
The design didnt take into
consideration that someone would be eating while theyre playing. A requirement could
have been developed from an Operational Scenario, and this mishap could have been avoided
if quality Systems Engineering had been used. |
