1. Executive Summary
1.1 Project Overview
Describe this project or product and its intended audience, or provide a link or reference to the project charter.
1.2 Purpose and Scope of this Specification
Describe the purpose of this specificationand its intended audience. Include a description of what is within the scope what is outside of the scope of these specifications. For example:
In scope
This document addresses requirements related to phase 2 of Project A:
• modification of Classification Processing to meet legislative mandate ABC.
• modification of Labor Relations Processing to meet legislative mandate ABC.
Out of Scope
The following items in phase 3 of Project A are out of scope:
• modification of Classification Processing to meet legislative mandate XY Z.
• modification of Labor Relations Processing to meet legislative mandate XYZ.
2. Product/Service Description
In this section, describe the general factors that affect the product and its requirements. This section should contain background information, not state specific requirements .
2.1 Product Context
How does this product relate to other products? Is it independent and self-contained? Does it interface with a variety of related systems? Describe these relationships or use a diagram to show the major components of the larger system, interconnections, and external interfaces.
2.2 User Characteristics
Create general customer profiles for each type of user who will be using the product. Profiles should include:
• Student/faculty/staff/other
• experience
• technical expertise
• other general characteristics that may influence the product
2.3 Assumptions
List any assumptions that affect the requirements, for example, equipment availability, user expertise, etc.For example, a specific operating system is assumed to be available; if the operating system is not available, the Requirements Specification would then have to change accordingly.
2.4 Constraints
Describe any items that will constrain the design options, including
• parallel operation with an old system
• audit functions
• access, management and security
• criticality of the application
• system resource constraints
• other design constraints
2.5 Dependencies
List dependenciesthat affect the requirements. Examples:
• This new product will require a daily download of data from X,
• Module X needs to be completed before this module can be built.
3. Requirements
• Describe all system requirements in enough detail for designers to design a system satisfying the requirements and testers to verify that the system satisfies requirements.
• Organize these requirements in a way that works best for your project. See Appendix DAppendix D, Organizing the Requirements for different ways to organize these requirements.
• Describe every input into the system, every output from the system, and
