The purpose of a specification document is to describe the behavior as well as the different functionalities of an application or software in a specific environment.
Then we will take a software system requirements specification example to better understand the concept.
WHY SHOULD SRS BE INCLUDED IN THE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
First of all, customers or product owners work on writing system requirements to define the objectives of the software as well as the scope of intervention of the team that develops the application or the software.
A thorough description of the software helps the development team to implement and build the software.
Moreover, early detection of problems in specification leads to effective time management since it is a lot easier to update specification prior to any development than to update the specification then the corresponding functionalities.
