The Software Requirement Specification is said to be | UGC NET

UGC NET 2018 : 

The Software Requirement Specification(SRS) is said to be _________ if and only if no subset of individual requirements described in it conflict with each other.

A) Correct
B) Consistent
C) Unambiguous
D) Verifiable

Solution:
Ans. Option (B)
What is a SRS ?


  • SRS is the official statement  of what the system developers should implement.
  • SRS is a complete description of the behavior of the system to be developed.
  • SRS should include both a definition of user requirements and a specification of the system requirements.
  • The SRS fully describes what the software will do and how it will be expected to perform.


What is the purpose of SRS ?


  • The SRS precisely defines the software product that will be built.
  • SRS used to know all the requirements for the software development and thus that will help in designing the software.
  • It provides feedback to the customer.


Who are the users of a SRS ?


(End Users) Customers : Specify the requirements and and check them they meet their needs. Customers specify changes to the requirements.


Managers : Use the requirements to plan the development process.


System engineers : Use the requirements to understand what system is to be developed.


System test engineers : use the requirements to develop validation test.


System maintenance engineers : use the requirements to understand system and establish relationship between them,


Structure of the SRS ?


According to IEEE standard the structure of SRS is as following :
