What is the primary purpose of a Software Requirements Specification (SRS)?

### Why this is right A Software Requirements Specification (SRS) is the requirements document. The material explicitly states that it is not a design document. ### The concept An SRS records what the system is required to do and the constraints it must meet. Developers, test engineers, project managers, customers, and maintenance engineers may use it. Design describes how the system is organized to meet those requirements, so the two documents serve different purposes. ### The other options - **B. To provide source code for the finished system**: Source code is an implementation artifact, not an SRS. - **C. To record only the project budget**: Budget information may be part of project planning, but it is not the SRS's defining purpose. - **D. To replace all communication with system users**: Requirements work depends on understanding user needs; a document does not replace that process. ### Terms - **Software Requirements Specification (SRS)**: A document that specifies software system requirements. ### Remember Requirements say what the system must do; design describes its implementation structure.
