True or False: Because the requirements document has such a diverse set of users, it must be a compromise that communicates requirements to customers, defines requirements in precise detail for developers and testers, and includes information about possible system evolution.
Correct Answer
True
Explanation
The diversity of users means the requirements document must serve multiple purposes simultaneously: communicating requirements to customers at a level they understand, defining requirements in precise detail for developers and testers, and including information about possible evolution to help maintenance engineers and system designers.
