 Requirements Specification
• Two terminologies specification & documentation are used interchangeably
• During elicitation, we informally write the requirements
• Now we have to write it in some formal way
• We write it formally so that

• We can have agreement with customer

• We can carry out validation activity
• And as a result we can develop software solutions

 Writing Requirements
• This document is a starting point for design and development of the software
system.

• Typically , requirements documents are written in natural languages (like,

English, Japanese, French, etc.)

• Natural languages, by their nature, are ambiguous.

• For the help of natural languages, structured languages can be used to

specify requirements

 Modern SRS Package
• Historically the most popular technique for documenting
requirements was to use natural language.

• This technique was revised and improved and eventually a

number of standards developed for these documents, including
IEEE 830 standard for Software Requirements Specification.

• The modern SRS package plays no of crucial roles:

• It serves as a basis of communication among all parties

• It represents an agreement among all parties
• It serves as a project manager’s reference standard
• It serves as input to the design, implementation and testing teams
• It controls the evolution of the system throughout development phase of
the project
