Technical requirements FAQ

Common questions about writing and structuring technical requirements documents for software projects.

What is a technical requirements document?

A technical requirements document (also called a Software Requirements Specification or SRS) is a formal description of what a software system must do, how it should perform, and what constraints it operates under. It serves as the contract between stakeholders and the development team, covering functional behavior, non-functional qualities, security, data handling, integrations, and acceptance criteria.

What should be included in a software requirements template?

A comprehensive software requirements template should include a project overview, functional requirements describing system behavior, non-functional requirements for performance and scalability targets, security requirements, UX and design standards, data storage and retention policies, integration specifications for external systems, constraints and assumptions, and measurable acceptance criteria that define when the project is complete.

What is the difference between functional and non-functional requirements?

Functional requirements describe what the system must do - the features, behaviors, and business logic it implements (e.g., 'users can reset their password via email'). Non-functional requirements describe how well the system must perform - quality attributes like response time, uptime, scalability, and resource usage (e.g., 'pages load in under 2 seconds'). Both are essential for a complete requirements specification.

How do I write good acceptance criteria?

Good acceptance criteria are specific, measurable, and testable. Use the Given/When/Then format to describe preconditions, actions, and expected outcomes. Each criterion should be independently verifiable and tied to a business requirement. Avoid vague language like 'fast' or 'user-friendly' - instead quantify targets such as 'loads in under 2 seconds' or 'achieves WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance'.

Who should review technical requirements?

Technical requirements should be reviewed by product managers (for business alignment), engineering leads (for technical feasibility), QA leads (for testability), UX designers (for usability standards), security engineers (for compliance), and key stakeholders who will sign off on the final deliverable. Cross-functional review catches gaps early and builds shared understanding of what 'done' means.
