United States. Department of Defense, Strawman language requirements (1975)
“ It is our belief that each requirement should be brief and address a single issue. Requirements should be sufficiently precise so that the question "does language X meet this requirement" is answerable. Requirements should express a need rather than a mechanism for meeting that need. Thus an attempt should be made to replace each initial requirement by the specific underlying need. It is obvious that the strawman does not fully meet these goals.Each requirement should be traceable. That is, the operational or technological source of the requirement should be given with the requirement. ”
