1.Introduction
TheintroductiontotheSoftwareRequirementSpecification(SRS)documentshouldprovidean
overviewofthecompleteSRSdocument.Whilewritingthisdocumentpleaserememberthatthis
documentshouldcontainalloftheinformationneededbyasoftwareengineertoadequately
designandimplementthesoftwareproductdescribedbytherequirementslistedinthis
document.(Note:thefollowingsubsectionannotatesarelargelytakenfromtheIEEEGuideto
SRS).
1.1Purpose
WhatisthepurposeofthisSRSandthe(intended)audienceforwhichitiswritten.
1.2Scope
Thissubsectionshould:
(1) Identifythesoftwareproduct(s)tobeproducedbyname;forexample,HostDBMS,Report
Generator,etc
(2) Explainwhatthesoftwareproduct(s)will,and,ifnecessary,willnotdo
(3) Describetheapplicationofthesoftwarebeingspecified.Asaportionofthis,itshould:
(a)Describeallrelevantbenefits,objectives,andgoalsaspreciselyaspossible.For
example,tosaythatonegoalistoprovideeffectivereportingcapabilitiesisnotasgood
assayingparameterdriven,userdefinablereportswitha2hturnaroundandonline
entryofuserparameters.
(b)Beconsistentwithsimilarstatementsinhigherlevelspecifications(forexample,the
SystemRequirementSpecification),iftheyexist.Whatisthescopeofthissoftware
product.

2.4GeneralConstraints
ThissubsectionoftheSRSshouldprovideageneraldescriptionofanyotheritemsthatwill
limitthedevelopersoptionsfordesigningthesystem.(SeetheIEEEGuidetoSRSforapartial
listofpossiblegeneralconstraints).
2.5AssumptionsandDependencies
