SRS as per IEEE standards

• The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers publishes several dozen software
engineering standards
• IEEE 830-1998 is the 1998 revised standard
• It was replaced by Standard ISO/IEC/IEEE 29148:2011, with an update in 2018.
• IEEE 29148 covers the processes and information it recommends for a software requirements
specification (SRS) document, as well as its format.
• IEEE defines software requirements specification as, ‘a document’ that clearly and precisely
describes each of the essential requirements (functions, performance, design constraints and
quality attributes) of the software and the external interfaces.
• Each requirement is defined in such a way that its achievement can be objectively verified by a
prescribed method, for example, inspection, demonstration, analysis or test.’
• The requirements specification can be in the form of a written document, a mathematical model,
a collection of graphical models, a prototype, and so on.
