As a result of successful implementation of this process:

ENG 4.1 the software requirements to be allocated to the software elements of the system and their interfaces are defined

ENG 4.2 the software requirements to be allocated to the software elements of the system and their interfaces are defined

ENG 4.3 the impact of software requirements on the operating environment is evaluated

ENG 4.4 prioritization for implementing the software requirements is defined

ENG 4.5 the software requirements are approved and updated as needed

ENG 4.6 consistency and bilateral traceability are established between system requirements and software requirements; and consistency and bilateral traceability are established between system architectural design and software requirements

ENG 4.7 changes to the software requirements are evaluated for cost, schedule and technical impact

ENG 4.8 the software requirements are baselined and communicated to all affected parties

NOTE: For software requirements specifications, the IEEE-Standard 830- 1998, Recommended Practice for Software Requirements Specifications might be used.
