SpecificationA specification document is a description of what will be delivered. This may be contrasted with a requirements document which describes what is wanted. The specification is created after a process of investigation and outline design to clarify what exactly can be delivered within resource, cost and time constraints. Sometimes the terms 'requirements' and 'specification' are used interchangeable and documents may be called something like a 'Requirements specification'. Care should thus be taken to clarify exactly what terminology and definitions are being used. In any case, the key is that anything that is to be developed, delivered or deployed, should be described in sufficient detail to allow effective quality assurance of the process and its outputs, as well as providing a point of agreement for any further discussions about what is to be delivered. To support this, not only should what is being delivered be described, but also the quality criteria that will be used for acceptance. See also:
