SRS (software requirement specification):
SRS document is a contract between the development team and the customer.
Once the SRS document is approved by the customer, any subsequent controversies are settled by referring the SRS document.

- External interfaces
- Design constraints

The SRS is the basis of contract between the purchaser and supplier.

Benefits of SRS:
- Forces the users to consider their specific requirements carefully
- Enhances communication between the Purchaser and System developers
- Provides a firm foundation for the system design phase
- Enables planning of validation, verification, and acceptance procedures
- Enables project planning eg. Estimates of cost and time, resource scheduling
- Usable during maintenance phase.

SRS Standards:
- ANSI/IEEE SRS Standard 830-1984
- BS 6719: 1986
- European Space Agency Standards (ESA PSS-05-0, Jan 1987)
- US DoD-Std-7935A.
