What Is a System Requirement Specification?
A typical computer application includes a composite of software, hardware, and network components. System requirement specification (SyRS) is a detailed outline of the requirements necessary to create a complete system. These requirements are documented in an effort to define the complete functionality, availability, performance, and security needs of a system. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is the largest technical society dedicated to standards in the electronic and computer field. IEEE has created a set of standard procedures on how a system requirement specification should be documented. This documentation includes guidance on the creation, organization, and modifications of the system’s requirements.
