Functional Requirements

Defining how each use case and process will translate into application behavior – usually an algorithmic definition of the process flow.

For example, in Software Development, a Process Flow Diagram (PFD), Data Flow Diagram (DFD) and an Entity-Relationship (E/R) Diagram will serve to elucidate the changes both at the processing (Application) layer and at the information persistence layer (Database). These are best documented in a Functional Requirements Document that expands on the requirements document. The following sections are advisable in a Functional Requirements Document (FRD)

  • Requirements
  • Application / Module Details
  • Process Flows
  • Data Flows
  • Entity Relationships
  • Use Cases

You may have to repeat the above sections for each Requirement / Application and Module in question.
