Software Requirements are Required Reading by project teams.


I have always challenges with the Software Requirements for the products and would be the same for others too. Most of the time, the requirements talk about just the functional needs and ignore on the non functional aspects of the system. Once the requirements are freezed, we rarely go back to them for any updates required. The development teams always have implementation issues and the behavior changes from the drafted requirements.

This leads to more challenges to the testers as we go by the drafted requirements into the documents. The understanding on the non functional needs differs from dev teams to test teams. So, tt’s quite common to receive comments like That’s expected behavior and Not a Bug
from dev teams.
