Detailed description of artefact "System requirements specification"

17-12 System requirements specification

• System requirements include: functions and capabilities of the system; business, organizational and user requirements; safety, security, human-factors engineering (ergonomics), interface, operations, and maintenance requirements; design constraints and qualification requirements.
• Identifies the required system overview
• Identifies any interrelationship considerations/constraints between system elements
• Identifies any relationship considerations/constraints between the system elements and the software
• Identifies any design considerations/constraints for each required system element, including:
  • memory/capacity requirements
  • hardware interface requirements
  • user interface requirements
  • external system interface requirements
  • performance requirements
  • command structures
  • security/data protection characteristics
  • system parameter settings
  • manual operations
  • reusable components
• Describes the operation capabilities
• Describes environmental capabilities
• Documentation requirements
• Reliability requirements
• Logistical Requirements
• Describes security requirements
• Diagnosis requirements

17-00 Requirement specification

• Each requirement is identified
• Each requirement is unique
• Each requirement is verifiable or can be assessed (see 17-50)
• Includes statutory and regulatory requirements
• Includes issues/requirements from (contract) reviews

17-50 Verification Criteria

• Each requirement is verifiable or can be assessed
• Verification criteria define the qualitative and quantitative criteria for verification of a requirement.
• Verification criteria demonstrate that a requirement can be verified within agreed constraints. (Additional Requirement to 17-00 Requirements specification)

Extended Markdown

Extended Markdown is a special format (actually a DSL), used in this process for tracability. While the file is 100% markdown compliant, there are some additional tags to identify relations (links).

Because this links can be easily identified by text searches, a small helper (script) is able to collect all links and add the corresponding backward links. This ensures, that forward and backward links are always consistent (not more than that).

• All reqirement documents are written in “Extended Markdown”.

• The “Extended Markdown” files are considered to be “sourcefiles” of the requirement document (and are configuration items).
