Requirements Types

Functional

What does the product do? 

Example Requirement:  The system shall provide an RS-232 interface.

 

Performance

How well does the required function have to work?

Example Requirement:  The RS-232 interface shall support a baud rate of 9600.

 

Requirements Verification Methods

Inspection

Inspection is a nondestructive examination of the product using one or more of the five senses.  No manipulation or test equipment is required.

Example Requirement:  Warning LED shall be visible to the operator.

Example Verification:  Sit in the operator’s seat and verify that the LED is visible.

Demonstration

Demonstration is the manipulation of the product as it is intended to ensure that it functions as specified.  Typically no test equipment is required.

Example Requirement:  The system shall have a lamp test button.

Example Verification:  Press the lamp test button and visually verify that the lamps illuminate.

Test

A controlled test that usually uses special test equipment, a written test plan, and test procedure.

Example Requirement:  The system audio output shall have a Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 60dB or greater.

Example Verification:  Use the Audio SNR test set to measure and verify that the SNR is at least 60dB

Analysis

is the verification of a product or system using models, calculations and testing equipment.  Analysis allows someone to make predictive statements about the typical performance of a product or system based on the confirmed test results of a sample set or by combining the outcome of individual tests to conclude something new about the product or system.  It is often used to predict the breaking point or failure of a product or system by using nondestructive tests to extrapolate the failure point.
