2 Overall Description
2.1 Product Functionality
<Provide a bulleted list of all the major functions of the system>
2.2 Users and Characteristics
<List the various users that you anticipate will use this product. Describe the pertinent
characteristics of each user. Certain requirements may pertain only to certain users.
2.3 Operating Environment
<Describe the environment in which the software will operate, including the hardware platform,
operating system and versions, and any other software components or applications with which it
must peacefully coexist. In this part, make sure to include a simple diagram that shows the major
components of the overall system, subsystem interconnections, and external interface>
2.4 Design and Implementation Constraints
<Describe any items or issues that will limit the options available to the developers. These might
include: hardware limitations (timing requirements, memory requirements); interfaces to other
applications; specific technologies, tools, and databases to be used; parallel operations; language
requirements; communications protocols; security considerations; design conventions or
programming standards (for example, if the customer’s organization will be responsible for
maintaining the delivered software).

3 Specific Requirements
3.1 External Interface Requirements
3.1.1 User Interfaces
< If possible describe in words the different User Interfaces and the different screens that will be
available to the user..>
3.1.2 Hardware Interfaces
<If possible provide a short description of the different hardware interfaces>
3.1.3 Software Interfaces
<If possible provide a short description of the connections of this software with other software for
example databases, operating systems, tools, libraries, and integrated commercial components.>
3.2 Functional Requirements
< Functional requirements capture the intended behavior of the system. This behavior may be
expressed as services, tasks or functions the system is required to perform. This section is the
direct continuation of section 2.1 where you have specified the general functional requirements.
Here, you should list in detail the different product functions with specific explanations regarding
every function. Use the bullet format defined below
