System Requirements Specification (SRS) Q&A
Introduction
The System Requirements Specification (SRS) is a critical document that outlines the functional and non-functional requirements of a software system. In this article, we will address some of the frequently asked questions (FAQs) related to the SRS.
Q1: What is the purpose of the System Requirements Specification (SRS)?
A1: The purpose of the SRS is to provide a clear and concise description of the system's requirements, including the functional and non-functional requirements. It serves as a blueprint for the development team, ensuring that the final product meets the needs and expectations of the stakeholders.
Q2: Who is responsible for creating the System Requirements Specification (SRS)?
A2: The SRS is typically created by the project manager, system analyst, or requirements engineer, in collaboration with the stakeholders and development team.
Q3: What are the key components of the System Requirements Specification (SRS)?
A3: The key components of the SRS include:
- Functional Requirements (FR): a description of the system's functional requirements, including the inputs, processing, and outputs.
- Non-Functional Requirements (NFR): a description of the system's non-functional requirements, including the performance, security, and usability.
