Specification of Software Systems

Specification of systems requirements after technical examinations of the software for all the components forming their basis and the integration between them. A fundamental Specification, in which much thought is invested, optimizes the development procedure and obviates misunderstandings that could arise while realizing an idea. Detailed Specification is essential for development that is executed within an organization itself, but primarily, when working with an external development body.
 
The Specification procedure includes a number of meetings for understanding the system's needs, the target community and the special emphases required for it (inter alia, functional requirements, performance requirements and security requirements). Afterwards the procedure for characterizing the interface, database and defining the main internal processes, which have to be executed, is conducted. During the third stage the writing work that links these three together commences according to the layouts of each screen.
 
Writing a characterization has to be very detailed and must include thinking on any end events that could arise during use. It is also important to define items that are not important to the system, in order to avoid unnecessary cumbersomeness during development. During the characterization procedure, the promoter usually answers a number of important questions including those that involve his/her business aspects, which define the system into one stable coherent item.  On completion of the writing, a procedure for scanning the components into versions commences and each version is divided into milestones.
 
Similarly to the entire development process, the characterization procedure is conducted with the utmost thoroughness and those involved have to sign appropriate agreements.
