1.3 Requirement Assumptions and Support Considerations

Provide information about technology tools, environment conditions, and other support
considerations that can affect the project, if applicable.

For example:

 Behavioral (how it will behave (from a user’s point of view) in meeting its requirements,
ignoring internal implementation).
 Constraints include issues such as throughput, response time, CPU utilization, etc. Use
a separate sub-section for each constraint if necessary.
 Decisions affecting the selection and design of the system, application or software.
 Decisions that respond to requirements designated critical, such as those for safety,
security, or privacy.
 Decisions depending on system states or modes.
 Decisions regarding inputs it will accept and outputs it will produce, including interfaces
with other systems.
 Decisions on behavior in response to each input or condition, including:
o Actions it will perform
o Response times and other performance characteristics
o Description of physical systems modeled
o Selected equations, algorithms, rules, and handling of non-acceptable inputs or
conditions.
 Decisions on how databases and data files will appear to the user.
