Software Requirements Specification (SRS)

This section of the Project Notebook should contain a complete description of the requirements for your project. You may use the IEEE recommended standard (IEEE std 830-1998) if you like, but that is not required. Your requirements specification, however, should contain all the relevant information referred to in this document. In addition, there are some useful SRS guidelines available online that are based on the IEEE standard. One is the “Systems and Software Requirements Specification (SSRS) Template” and another is Software Requirements Specification Template. You might also find the sites “Writing Software Requirements Specifications” and “How to Write a Software Requirements Specification” useful. For a sample SRS see this student project from the University of Texas.
