Common Requirement Problem Types: ‘And’
Differences between Natural Speech and Requirements Writing
Requirements should be formal, singular statements, unlike natural speech patterns that emphasize flow and detail.
Focus on Problem Words
Many common problem words, like “and,” can hinder clear, unambiguous requirement authoring.
Challenges in Rewriting Requirements
Rewriting requirements often requires guidance to avoid frequently misused or hard-to-reword terms.
