What is the difference between Requirement and
Specification?

Answer Posted / revati

Requirement:
A condition or a capability needed by a user to solve a
problem or achieve an objective that must be met or
possessed by a system or system component to satisfy a
contract,standard,specification, or other formally imposed
document.

Specification:
A document that specifies, ideally in a complete,precise
and verifiable manner, the requirements, design, behaviour,
or other characteristics of a component or system, and
often,the procedures for determining whether these
provisions have been satisfied.


In very simple language

Requirement is nothing but the raw data gathered from the
customer what he wants whereas Specification is a document,
which explains cutomers needs and what system should do and
how it should work, the points which are not specified in
requirement,the architecture of the syatem and so on..
