At the 2002 Annual INCOSE Symposium Joseph Kasser's presentation ‘Does Object‐Oriented Systems Engineering Eliminate the Need for Requirements?’ provoked a lively discussion and his conclusion that there was no need for requirements when an object‐oriented approach to systems engineering similar to object‐oriented software engineering was followed, met strong resistance. This paper briefly reviews traditional requirements. The evolution of object‐oriented programming is presented and the important role of use‐cases in the requirements engineering process is shown. On the basis of this information this paper comes to the conclusion that object‐oriented systems engineering indeed will use a different way to cope with requirements than traditional systems engineering.
