Views of an Enterprise System ^
Five perspectives (views, levels) are shown in Figure 8, which depicts Čaplinskas» vision-driven methodological framework: 1) business level requirements (the view of a business analyst); 2) user level requirements (the view of stakeholders); 3) IS (information system) requirements (the view of an IS analyst); 4) the requirements of IS subsystems (the view of an IS engineer); 5) software requirements (the view of a software analyst). More perspectives can also be concerned:
«To be complete, it should additionally include the requirements of software components (the view of software architect), the implementation requirements (the view of software engineer), the process requirements (the view of process engineer), and the testing requirements (the view of tester).» [Čaplinskas 2009, p. 355].

The principle will be applied in the division of complex description of even small portions of software into hopefully better understanding partial descriptions – that we call views – that must later be superimposed to form a complete description.» [Goedicke 1990, p. 5]
