A software requirements document, or software requirements specification (SRS), is a document that describes what the software will do and how it will work. It also describes the required functionality of the product so that it meets stakeholder or business requirements.

As foundation of your project, you will need a good documentation.

What does Software Requirements include?

Typically, it includes the following:

  • A purpose
  • A general description
  • Specific requirements for the product
  • How you will integrate the application
  • Real user

Why do you need a Software Requirement?

Agile software development is about delivering the best product with adaptive planning and continuous improvement as early as possible. Therefore, you need good documentation as the foundation of the project. This enables a consistent view of the finished product during the agile development phase.

It is also important to:

  • better estimate time and cost for the product
  • prioritize tasks
  • better understand and solve problems
  • better manage tasks; and
  • deploy the product faster

What is included in a Software Requirements Document?

Thus, the software requirements document defines the functional and non-functional requirements for the system.
