Requirement Rewrite Example

Table of contents



This is an example of a simple rewrite of an important requirement one of our customers had. They had surrounding information, such as version, owner, etc. that I have left out, to simplify the example a little.
They expected to use several €100 000.- to develop it.

Original Text (doctored)

Title: OpenSW API and Product Quality software implementation


Description:

The Our-System shall provide access to version 7.1 of the industry standard OpenSW API as defined by the ExternalXX group (www.ExternalXX.org) for 2d and Vectors graphics support on embedded devices. The Our-System shall also include an integrated, Product Quality implementation of the OpenSW 1.0 vector graphics standard. This implementation will be licensed for use in all products as part of the usual package agreement for the appropriate Our-System release(s).The API and Software Implementation will support core OpenSW features in V1.0 spec. OpenSW provides a drawing model similar to those of existing two dimensional drawing APIs and formats, such as Adobe PostScript and PDF, Sun Microsystems Java2D, MacroMedia Flash, and VSK. It is specifically intended to support all drawing features required by a VSK Brilliant 3.1 renderer.

Reason:

"OpenSW is designed to be the primary 2d and vector graphics API for use by external devices. By providing a product implementation Our-Company enables licensees and developers to fully leverage OpenSW and to augment the appropriate software implementation with product specific drivers for any hardware acceleration that is present on the device.
The end-user will benefit with quality and responsiveness of graphics features. Application developers, including middle-ware VSK engine providers will benefit from automatic performance improvements when using OpenSW on platforms with hardware acceleration.
External device Integrators and Semiconductor / Graphics accelerator providers benefit from having a standard Hardware Adaptation Interface (HAI) to plug into - decreasing cost of development and time to market"
