A software requirements specification (SRS) is a document that describes what the software will do and

how it will be expected to perform. It also describes the functionality the product needs to fulfill the
needs of all stakeholders (business, users).

A requirement specification is a collection of all requirements that are to be imposed on the design and
verification of the product. The specification also contains other related information necessary for the
design, verification, and maintenance of the product.

Functional requirements are product features or functions that developers must implement to enable
users to accomplish their tasks. So, it's important to make them clear both for the development team
and the stakeholders. Generally, functional requirements describe system behavior under specific
conditions.

Example: A user shall be able to log into the system using their username and password.

In this example, the function is “login” and the behavior is “The system shall allow a user to login using
their username and password.”

Non-functional requirements or NFRs are a set of specifications that describe the system's operation
capabilities and constraints and attempt to improve its functionality. These are basically the
requirements that outline how well it will operate including things like speed, security, reliability, data
integrity, etc.

Example: Emails should be sent with a latency of no greater than 12 hours from such an activity.

A product requirements document (PRD) defines the requirements of a particular product, including
the product's purpose, features, functionality, and behavior. It serves as a guide for business and
technical teams to help build, launch, or market the product.

Type

Usability requirements deal with how easy it is for an operator to make use of the system. Because
there are two basic types of operators (humans and other systems), there are different approaches to
expressing these requirements.

Efficiency requirements address the user concern for how fast the system functions, how efficiently the
system takes in inputs and processes outputs, and how much can be processed at a time.

Reliability requirements are typically part of a technical specifications document. They can be
requirements that a company sets for its product and its own engineers or what it reports as its
reliability to its customers. They can also be requirements set for suppliers or subcontractors.

Portability is the ease with which a software system can be transferred from its current hardware or
software environment to another environment. ELICITATION: Portability requirements address the user
concern for how easy it is to transport the system.

What is organizational requirements?

Organizational requirements formulate rules about how users are to perform their tasks, e.g. “The
radiological assistant must keep an eye on the patient while adjusting the patient table.” In practice, the
term “business requirement” is sometimes used.
What are requirements in standards?

A requirement is a quality or qualification that you must have in order to be allowed to do something or
to be suitable for something.

Requirements implementation is the actual work of transforming requirements into software

architectural designs, detailed designs, code, and test cases. The implementation of these work products
is less problematic if requirements are unambiguous and quantitative where possible.

Delivery Requirements means the rules, policies, guidelines and Standards established by PLK, in its sole
discretion, from time to time in connection with a Delivery Program, taking into consideration local
norms, customs and practices, and recommendations from Master Franchisee.

External requirements are those Requirement elements that have been connected to the current
element using a Realization connector. By creating the connector from the element to the Requirement,
you create an expectation that the element must implement the requirement as part of the system
solution.

Functional Testing like System,
Integration, End to End, API testing, etc
are done.
Usually easy to define.
Example
1) Authentication of user whenever
he/she logs into the system.
2) System shutdown in case of a cyber
attack.
3) A Verification email is sent to user
whenever he/she registers for the first
time on some software system.
Non-Functional Testing like Performance,
Stress, Usability, Security testing, etc are
done.
Usually more difficult to define.
Example
1) Emails should be sent with a latency of no
greater than 12 hours from such an activity.
2) The processing of each request should be
done within 10 seconds
3) The site should load in 3 seconds when
the number of simultaneous users are >
10000
