Spesifikim

Spesifikim is a term used in Albanian to denote a documented set of precise requirements, characteristics, and constraints that a product, system, or service must meet. It serves as a reference point for design, development, production, testing, and validation, and helps ensure that stakeholders share a common understanding of what is to be delivered.

In practice, spesifikim distinguishes what must be achieved from how it is to be done. It focuses on the expected outputs, performance, interfaces, and quality criteria, rather than prescribing every implementation detail. The document can be standalone or part of a broader project or contract. It is frequently used in engineering, manufacturing, information technology, construction, and procurement.

There are several types of spesifikim. Spesifikim funksional describes the required functions and behaviors of a system or component. Spesifikim teknik outlines technical constraints, materials, tolerances, and interfaces. Spesifikim software specifies requirements for software behavior, data, and interactions with other systems. Each type may include sections on purpose, scope, references, acceptance criteria, and verification methods.

Typical content of a spesifikim includes the objective and scope, detailed requirements (functional and non-functional), performance criteria, interfaces and interoperability, materials and standards, testing and verification plans, and change control procedures. The document often serves as the basis for tendering, contractual obligations, and formal acceptance, and is updated as needs evolve.

Etymologically, spesifikim is a loanword in Albanian, reflecting the Latin root specificatio through European languages, and is widely used in formal and technical contexts.
