kravspecifikke

Kravspecifikke is a Danish term used in project management, systems engineering and software development to refer to the specific requirements that define a product, system or service. It is closely linked to kravspecifikation, the formal document that describes all requirements for a project. Kravspecifikke denote the precise, testable conditions the solution must satisfy and can cover functional, non-functional, interface and compliance aspects.

In practice, kravspecifikke serve as the concrete basis for design, implementation and testing. They are typically created during requirements engineering through stakeholder interviews, use cases, user stories and workshops, and are maintained with clear traceability to higher-level goals and to verification activities. They should be written in a clear, measurable and testable manner to support acceptance criteria and validation.

Types of kravspecifikke commonly include:

- Functional requirements: explicit behaviors or functions the system must perform.

- Non-functional requirements: quality attributes such as performance, reliability, security, usability and maintainability.

- Interface requirements: how the system interacts with other systems, components, or data formats.

- Data and regulatory requirements: data integrity, privacy, compliance with laws and standards.

Management of kravspecifikke involves versioning, baselining and change control, with a requirements traceability matrix linking each requirement to design artifacts and test cases. Common challenges include ambiguity, incomplete coverage or scope creep; these are mitigated by precise, testable wording and ongoing stakeholder review.
