1. Introduction to SRS
A software requirements specification (SRS) is a description of a software system
to be developed. The software requirements specification lays out functional and non-
functional requirements, and it may include a set of use cases that describe user
interactions that the software must provide.
Software requirements specification establishes the basis for an agreement between
customers and contractors or suppliers on how the software product should function.
Software requirements specification is a rigorous assessment of requirements before the
more specific system design stages, and its goal is to reduce later redesign. It should also
provide a realistic basis for estimating product costs, risks, and schedules. Used
appropriately, software requirements specifications can help prevent software project
failure.
The software requirements specification document lists sufficient and necessary
requirements for the project development. To derive the requirements, the developer
needs to have clear and thorough understanding of the products under development.
This is achieved through detailed and continuous communications with the project team
and customer throughout the software development process.

Software Engineering
A software requirements specification (SRS) is a document that captures complete
description about how the system is expected to perform. It is usually signed off at the
end of requirements engineering phase.
2. Goals
The Software Requirements Specification (SRS) is a communication tool between
users and software designers. The specific goals of the SRS are:
Facilitating reviews
Describing the scope of work
Providing a reference to software designers (i.e. navigation aids, document structure)
Providing a framework for testing primary and secondary use cases
Including features to customer requirements
Providing a platform for ongoing refinement (via incomplete specs or questions)
3. Qualities of SRS:
Correct
Unambiguous
Complete
Consistent
Ranked for importance and/or stability
Verifiable
Modifiable
Traceable
Exercise: -
Prepare SRS for the project you have selected for the Experiment No 1.
Conclusion: -
A Software Requirements Specification (SRS) (also known as a System
Requirements Specification) is a document or set of documentation that describes the
features and behavior of a system or software application. It includes a variety of elements
that attempts to define the intended functionality required by the customer to satisfy their
different users.
