Abstract

Various organisations have published proposals to prescribe the form and content of software requirements speci- fication documents; the standards were designed to support t he specific needs of these organisations and the intricacies of their de- velopment projects. To help third parties in taking advantage of this body of work, a set of criteria are proposed and discussed that can be used to evaluate such standards, according to the unique characteristics of specific combinations of organisations and soft- ware development projects, and then the question of how the crite- ria can be applied in an evaluation, selection and tailoring process, depending on the circumstances, is discussed. Finally, the criteria are demonstrated by applying them on some published standards, to help interested organisations to preselect those that se em most appropriate for their needs.
