Guidelines for Developing SRS
The project was initiated, and realized in co-operation with IT Department of the Poznan City Hall.
The goal of the project was to prepare a set of guidelines for supporting government units (as well as industrial companies) in preparation of SRS documents.
As a result of collaboration, a set of documents has been proposed. It includes the SRS template (based on IEEE std. 830:1998 and ISO 9126), manual for the template (presenting guidelines for using the SRS template, as well as an introduction to requirements engineering), and example of the SRS for the exisiting system ADE (original SRS, used for bid of tender procedure, was re-written according to the template).
Proposed SRS template:
1. Introduction
1.1 Purpose
1.2 Document Conventions
1.3 Product Scope
1.4 References
2. Overall Description
2.1 Product Perspective
2.2 Product Features
2.3 Constraints
2.4 User Documentation
2.5 Assumptions and Dependencies
3. Business Process Model
3.1 Actors and User Characteristics
3.2 Business Objects
3.3 Business Processes
3.4 Business Rules
4. Functional Requirements
4.x Functional Module X
4.x.1 Description and Priority
4.x.2 Use Cases

5.2.1 Hardware Interfaces
5.2.2 Software Interfaces
5.2.3 Communications Interfaces
6. Non-functional Requirements
