The Software Requirements Document (also called the software requirements specification or SRS) is best described as:

An official statement of what the system developers should implement, including both user requirements and a detailed system requirements specification

A test plan describing how the system will be validated after delivery

A project schedule showing when each feature will be implemented

A technical design document describing the system architecture

Correct Answer

An official statement of what the system developers should implement, including both user requirements and a detailed system requirements specification

Explanation

The SRS is an official statement of what the system developers should implement. It should include both the user requirements for the system and a detailed specification of the system requirements. It is NOT a design document — it should not describe how the system will be designed or implemented.
