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 :
