SRS as per the IEEE
SRS as per the IEEE
Specifications (SRS) is defined in IEEE 830-1998, titled "IEEE Recommended Practice for Software
Requirements Specifications." This standard provides a structured approach to documenting the
requirements for a software system.
1. Introduction
- 1.1 Purpose: Defines the purpose of the SRS and the intended audience.
- 1.2 Scope: Outlines the software product to be specified, including its boundaries, major features,
and goals.
- 1.3 Definitions, Acronyms, and Abbreviations: Provides definitions for terms, acronyms, and
abbreviations used in the SRS.
- 1.4 References: Lists any references to other documents or standards that are pertinent to the
SRS.
2. Overall Description
- 2.1 Product Perspective: Describes the context and origin of the product, including its relationship
to other systems.
- 2.3 User Classes and Characteristics: Identifies the different user types and their needs.
- 2.4 Operating Environment: Specifies the hardware, software, and other environmental
constraints.
- 2.5 Design and Implementation Constraints: Lists any constraints on design and implementation.
- 2.6 User Documentation: Details the documentation and training materials provided to users.
- 2.7 Assumptions and Dependencies: Describes any assumptions and dependencies that could
impact the software requirements.
3. Specific Requirements
- 3.1 Functional Requirements: Provides detailed descriptions of the functions the software must
perform.
- 3.2 External Interface Requirements: Details interactions between the software and other systems
or users.
- 3.4 Design Constraints: Describes constraints related to the design of the software.
- 3.5 Software System Attributes: Details attributes such as reliability, availability, security, and
maintainability.
- 3.6 Other Requirements: Includes any other requirements not covered in the above sections.
4. Appendices
- 4.2 Analysis Models: Includes diagrams and models that support the requirements, such as data
flow diagrams or use case diagrams.
- 4.3 Issue Tracking: Optional section for tracking unresolved issues or changes.
This structure helps ensure that all aspects of the software requirements are thoroughly documented
and clearly communicated.
