Explicit requirements

Explicit requirements are documented, detailed, and directly stated within the project scope. They are often the starting point for development and testing. 

Examples of various forms of explicit requirements: 
  • Formally written functional requirements: User stories, feature descriptions, acceptance criteria, etc. 
  • Quality Characteristic (Non-functional / Para-functional) requirements: Performance benchmarks, accessibility, security standards, etc.
  • Design documentation: Includes user flow journeys, architecture diagrams, logical flowcharts, site maps, etc. 
  • Wireframes: Visual guides by designers for layout and UI (user interface) design. 
  • Help files / FAQs: Support documentation and collaterals to guide users. 
  • Error catalogs: Lists of error codes with their descriptions.
