When a standard form is used for specifying functional requirements, which of the following fields should be included? Select all that apply.

A description of the graphical user interface for the function

A description of the function or entity being specified

A description of the action to be taken

Pre-condition and post-condition

A description of the side effects of the function

A description of outputs and where they go to

A description of inputs and where they come from

Correct Answer

(1) A description of the function or entity being specified

(2) A description of inputs and where they come from

(3) A description of outputs and where they go to

(4) Pre-condition and post-condition

(5) A description of the side effects of the function

(6) A description of the action to be taken

Explanation

A structured functional requirement form should include: function/entity description, inputs (and their source), outputs (and their destination), information required for computation, action description, pre/post-conditions, and side effects. The GUI design is an implementation concern, not a requirements specification field.
