Specific Functional Requirements
- Are all the inputs to the system specified, including their source, accuracy, range of values, and frequency?
- Are all the outputs from the system specified, including their destination, accuracy, range of values, frequency, and format?
- Are all output formats specified for Web pages, reports, and so on?
- Are all the external hardware and software interfaces specified?
- Are all the external communication interfaces specified, including hand-shaking, error-checking, and communication protocols?
- Are all the tasks the user wants to perform specified?
- Is the data used in each task and the data resulting from each task specified? Specific Nonfunctional (Quality) Requirements
- Is the expected response time, from the user’s point of view, specified for all necessary operations?
- Are other timing considerations specified, such as processing time, data-transfer rate, and system throughput?
- Is the level of security specified?
- Is the reliability specified, including the consequences of software failure, the vital information that needs to be protected from failure, and the strat-egy for error detection and recovery?
- Are minimum machine memory and free disk space specified?
- Is the maintainability of the system specified, including its ability to adapt to changes in specific functionality, changes in the operating environment, and changes in its interfaces with other software?
- Is the definition of success included? Of failure?
Requirements Quality
- Are the requirements written in the user’s language? Do the users think so?
- Does each requirement avoid conflicts with other requirements?
- Are acceptable tradeoffs between competing attributes specified for example, between robustness and correctness?
- Do the requirements avoid specifying the design?
- Are the requirements at a fairly consistent level of detail? Should any requirement be specified in more detail? Should any requirement be specified in less detail?
- Are the requirements clear enough to be turned over to an independent group for construction and still be understood? Do the developers think so?
- Is each item relevant to the problem and its solution? Can each item be traced to its origin in the problem environment?
- Is each requirement testable? Will it be possible for independent testing to determine whether each requirement has been satisfied?
- Are all possible changes to the requirements specified, including the likelihood of each change?
Requirements Completeness
- Where information isn’t available before development begins, are the areas of incompleteness specified?
- Are the requirements complete in the sense that if the product satisfies every requirement, it will be acceptable?
- Are you comfortable with all the requirements? Have you eliminated requirements that are impossible to implement and included just to appease your customer or your boss?
