[The following subsections of the SRS provide an overview of the entire system. This section will help the developers build the system, as it addresses the purpose, scope, overview, context, and functions of the system. User characteristics and definitions can also be considered.]

[Identifies the purpose of the system and its intended audience.]

[Defines the scope of the system. This includes the problems that the system will resolve and the vision for the system. Limitations and what the system will not be able to do should also be considered.]

[Highlights important aspects of the system that developers would need to know. Also highlights aspects that clients/users will care about.]

[Describes the context of the system, such as who will be using the system, where the system will be used, the industry and organizations that will use the system, and the various interfaces with the system.]

[Describes the main functionality of the system. You will want to consider how the current system functions and how the new system will differ from it.]

[Describes the characteristics of the clients/users who will be using the system once it is implemented. Consider all of the stakeholders whose interviews you listened to.]

[Defines keywords. If you use any new keywords throughout your SRS, define them in this section.]

[If you use resources throughout this document, this is your reference section. Use APA formatting.]

[The following subsections of the SRS explain the requirements of the system that will be implemented. This section is the meat of this document, and contains some of the most important information that developers who are working on the project will need to know.]

[Describes the tasks or functions that the system will perform. To indicate the mandatory nature of these requirements, be sure to use “will,” “shall,” or other unambiguous language when describing the functionalities (e.g., “the system will” or “the doctor shall”).]

[Identifies the user needs and how the system will meet these needs.]

[Describes the requirements that show that the system is functioning and running properly. This includes how well a function can perform, and under what conditions it should be able to perform.]

[Explains the system interface, and how it interacts with other existing systems. Also considers the system’s features and how it interacts with the user.]

[Some systems behave quite differently depending on the mode of operation. When organizing by mode there are two possible outlines. The choice depends on whether interfaces and performance are dependent on mode. In this section, describe how the system operates.]

[If the system can function in various states and modes, complete this section.]

[Describes the physical characteristics of the system, including whether it is on-site, off-site, or on a website.]

[Describes the environmental conditions that the system might impact, which may include the political, social, organizational, and business environment.]

[Explains how the software system will sustain proper levels of security, such as the log-on procedures, and password and data protection.]

[Determines how the system will manage information between its databases, and interaction with other systems and interfaces, while considering the privacy concerns.]

[Explains how the system will comply with organizational and federal policies and regulations. Includes any relevant organizational or legal parameters that impact the system.]

[Describes how the team can sustain the quality of the system, for example by using reviews, data collection, and analysis. Also describes the support personnel that may be needed.]

[Describes how the system can be packaged, handled, shipped, or transported, especially while in operation.]

[Explains the approaches or methods that can be used to verify that the system functions properly.]

[Identifies any assumptions or dependencies that apply to the system requirements.]

[Defines any acronyms and abbreviations used in this document.]
