Introduction
• The goal of the Requirements Analysis and Specification is to
clearly understand customer requirements and to
systematically organize these requirements in a specification
document.
• This is consists of the following two activities:
• Requirements Gathering And Analysis
• Requirements Specification

RequirementGathering
• Interview
• Users are interviewed to gather the different functionalities
required by them
• Task analysis
• Users view the software as services provided by it – service as
task
• Form Analysis
• Analyse different data input and output of the system

RequirementsAnalysis
• The analyst starts requirements gathering and analysis
• By collecting all information from the customers
• Analyst should clearly understand to obtain good gasp on
problem
• What is the problem?
• Why is it important to solve the problem?
• What are the possible solutions to the problem?
• What exactly are the data input to the system and what exactly
are the data output by the system?
• What are the likely complexities that might arise while solving the
problem?

Key point for Requirement Analysis
• Working knowledge of software technology
• Computer programming experience and expertise
• General business knowledge
• Problem solving and problem reduction skills
• Interpersonal relation skills
• Be flexible and adaptable

RequirementSpecification
• Need of it
• There may not be clear understanding of what a system is
expected to do and its limitations
• System development process might lose focus over time
• Many people with variety of backgrounds are involved
• Different people might have different interpretations
• No clear communication between stakeholders and the
development team
• Requirements of the system might change
• Main Goal
• It provides feedback to the customer
• It decomposes the problem into component parts
• It serves as an input to the design specification
• It serves as a product validation check

Cont…
• Contains all the user requirement in structured though
informal form
• Important parts consist of
• Functional Requirements
• The functional requirements discuss the functionality required by
the users from the system.
• Non-Functional Requirements
• deal with the characteristics of the system which can not be
expressed as functions - such as the maintainability of the system,
portability of the system, usability of the system
• Goals of Implementation
• Documents some general design goals

At last…
• A very well mannered SRS (Software Requirement
Specification) document let you move to the next phase of
SDLC which is ‘Software Design’ but only after the proper
Requirement Analysis and Specification.
