IEEE Software Requirements Specification Template

Requirements Engineering | October 05, 2004 | 3 comments

When I was a teachers assistant for “SOEN 342: Software Requirements and Specifications” at Concordia University I took the IEEE Guide to Requirements Specification (IEEE Std 830-1984) and created a template for the students to create their SRS (Software Requirements Specification) document from.

I wanted to post the templates that I have so that you have another alternative to evaluate. We have introduced the templates created by Volere previously and now you have a template for the IEEE 830-1984 std as well.

If you have any questions or comments concerning either specification or you want to share your opinion on them please don’t hesitate to share them below.

That is weird… it appears properly in the Word version of the document.

In section 3.1 - Functional Requirements: In the constraints section you have “Must complete in 50ms”. This is a Non-functional requirement and should be in the Non-Funcitonal requirements section, that should include some of the sections of 3.6 - System Attributes.

Functional requirements are the actions that the software must perform to complete the required task. Where as, non-functional are qualities of the product (look and feel, timing, security, usability, etc.) These are 2 distinct concepts that must be kept separate for design stages and for the traceability from requirements to implementation.
