The System Requirements Specification (SRS) document describes all data, functional and behavioral requirements of the software under production or development.

This 10-section template covers the overall description of the system/software to be implemented, use cases and scenarios, data model, functional and non-functional requirements, interface and behavioral models, as well as restrictions and validation criteria to be used for the software. The Appendices may include business rules, glossary, traceability matrices and other necessary supplementary information that are specific to the system.
