Software Requirements Specification

A lightweight SRS for teams that want clarity without a 60-page document. Fill what is relevant and delete the rest.

What’s inside

  • Purpose and scope. What this builds, for whom, and what is out of scope.
  • Stakeholders. Who has a stake, what they need, who signs off.
  • Functional requirements. Numbered 'The system shall' statements, each testable.
  • Non-functional requirements. Performance, security, reliability and accessibility, with measurable targets.
  • Assumptions and acceptance criteria. How you will know each requirement is met.

How to use it

  1. Agree purpose and scope with stakeholders first.
  2. Number every requirement so tests can trace back to it.
  3. Put a number on every non-functional requirement.
  4. Link acceptance criteria to the Traceability Matrix.
