Step 2: Requirement analysis and specification
noncomplex product architecture. Chapter 8 will provide further guidance on how 
an operational model can be utilized to assist in establishing a solid requirements 
baseline.
Testing is performed against software requirements specifications and is intended 
to demonstrate that the product conforms to the requirements as they are specified. If 
the specifications do not accurately capture stakeholder needs and expectations, then 
the delivered software product may not provide a value proposition for all stakehold-
ers. To ensure that the software product will satisfy stakeholders, the test strategy, 
plans, and procedures should ensure conformance with the operational concepts 
through a variety of scenarios and stressful multi-user operational conditions.
