pecifikáciu

Pecifikáciu is the accusative form of the Slovak noun pecifikácia, which denotes a specification: a formal description of the required features, properties, or criteria that a product, system, or service must satisfy. It is used in engineering, information technology, procurement, and project management to provide a clear, verifiable foundation for design, development, testing, and acceptance.

A specification consolidates requirements, constraints, interfaces, performance criteria, and other relevant attributes into a structured document. It helps distinguish between general requirements and concrete design directions, and it serves as a reference throughout the lifecycle of a project. Common types include functional specifications (what the system must do), technical specifications (how it shall be built, including standards and materials), and software specifications (often the software requirements specification or SRS). Non-functional requirements, such as reliability, security, and usability, are typically included as well, along with interfaces, data formats, and acceptance criteria.

Typical contents of a pecifikácia include the purpose and scope, stakeholder roles, system overview, functional and non-functional requirements, interfaces and data models, standards and compliance, constraints and assumptions, acceptance criteria, test methods, and version history. Creation is usually the responsibility of product owners, systems analysts, or design teams, based on stakeholder input, use cases, and risk assessments. Requirements are traced through design, implementation, and testing to verification, with change management and version control ensuring ongoing alignment.

In practice, pecifikáciu can be translated as specification or specification document; it is commonly referred to by terms such as “špecifikácia,” “požiadavky” or “SRS” in English-language contexts.
