Acceptance criteria are the testable conditions a user story must meet to be done. Definition, examples, and how they differ from the definition of done.

A software requirements specification (SRS) documents what a system must do and its constraints in one agreed reference. Definition, contents, and examples.

Non-functional requirements define how well a system must perform, covering speed, security, and reliability. Definition, examples, and why they matter.

Functional requirements define what a product must do, its features and behaviors. A clear definition, examples, and how they differ from non-functional ones.

A requirements traceability matrix (RTM) maps requirements to the tests and design that verify them, exposing coverage gaps. Definition, example, and FAQs.
