FFEspecifikationer

FFEspecifikationer, or FFE specifications, is a term used in some organizations to describe the formal documentation that defines the functional, interface, and performance requirements for a product, system, or project. The purpose is to provide a clear, testable basis for design, development, procurement, and verification, and to align stakeholders across disciplines. The term 'FFE' is defined within the organization and may stand for functional, technical, or feature-related aspects of a system.

A typical FFE specification covers the project scope, definitions and references, a high level system overview, and a detailed set of requirements. Functional requirements describe what the system should do; performance and quality attributes specify measurable targets; interface requirements define how the system connects with other components; data, security, reliability, and safety requirements address non-functional concerns; and acceptance criteria link each requirement to a verification method and criterion. The document also includes traceability information, constraints, and criteria for validation, with a revision history and change control process.

In practice, FFEspecifikationer are written with precise, testable language and are kept under version control. They are typically part of a broader requirements management approach and may reference related documents such as system design specifications, risk assessments, test plans, and interface control documents. They support quality assurance, procurement, and regulatory compliance by providing a single source of truth for what must be delivered.
