Overview This subsection should
a)
Describe what the rest of the SRS contains
b)

This document basically consists of three parts: the first part includes introduction and overall description of the application/system/product/software/etc. The second part contains specific requirements, data and behavioural model description of the system which are section 3, 4 and 5 in the document.

This section usually consists of six subsections, as follows:
a)
Product perspective (Section 2.1)
b)
Product functions (Section 2.2)
c)
User characteristics (Section 2.3)
d)
Constraints (Section 2.4)
e)
Assumptions and dependencies (Section 2.5)
f)
Apportioning of requirements (Section 2.6)
